1) no reads - should I bet the turn or river here ?
How do you proceed in general if the preflop aggressor checks all of a sudden?
I have to decide in these situations, if the agressor gives up his bluff or wants to trap me. Because of the 3-bet I decided not to bet.

4) I classified this as a wa/wb situation. But the cold caller worried me a little bit. Do you give up the turn here or do you call down as well as long the cold caller don't show aggression?

6) This was strange. I put the CO on trips after his turn raise. Do you aggree? I also decided to betout on the flop hoping for a raise from MP to get rid of the CO. Can I do anything else here?
