Do you fold here vs unknown?
We are 3 way and I don`t know can he bluff raise in this spot.
I think a lot players will call with sets and Jx on the flop. But there isn`t a lot hands, which he can bluff with.

I think there's a thin line between folding and calling. Some players raise here with 66 for information "here they are" and after getting called, they give up. Other players raise here Jx, because they want to protect their hand against AK, AQ or some silly stuff. So from an unknown player I don't always assume logical play.

I see two options. I fold, since it's quite a marginal spot with second pair, which I'd like to avoid at the beginning of the tour. The other one is that I call, and I give up on the turn, if he continues. I think both solutions have some credit.

Agree with that.

There's no reason to call flop and turn unless you hit at the beginning of the tournament.Also his bluffing frequency would be lower here.
