A hand where I think I can't do much but at the same time know I probably misplayed...

1- I don't have much reads on the opponent nor I know if he would be bluffing. Since I have a flush blocker I was probably confident that he would not have reached that, has he did not. However, perhaps I should have bet on the flop but I think that he would call anyway or shoved since he is so short... I have my doubts about my trapping preflop, not raising my pair. Also, when he goes all in on the river he probably has no bluffs on his range since the two possible draws completed and he called all the streets, but still I think I can't fold:

Just shove preflop, lots of dead money, you can add 20% to your stack. :-)

Limping preflop is pretty fine and standard since a multiway pot is the best case for a low-medium pocket pair.
I would also considered a shove preflop if players were habitual limpers but that's risky and pot is still not big enough in my opinion, but limping behind is fine.
On the Flop you missed a great opportunity to bet on a wet flop of a multiway pot.
That's the best case of a set FYI.
Betting on the flop is not going to scare your opponents away; checking and betting the Turn will, and you need to charge the draws as well (diamond, T9x). Players are calling the Flop easier and especially on a multiway pot. They may even call with a hand such as KQo, thinking they have odds against your A8o (ex.).
Just bet.
Slowplay not only lost you value on Flop, but it make the board ugly on Turn as well.
Slowplay on multiway pot and especially on such board is dangerous.
As played, River call seems ugly but you get good price for your set and villain is short stacked and may not have the Flush. Call.

Off course you could shove pre-flop, but post-flop is a lot more interesting this time.

Not sure why you are checking the flop at all. The flop is wet and multi way there are a lot of bad turn cards for us like this 1. You need to protect your hand and you could miss value as well.
