I assume his two small turn and river bets are to try and control the pot size. Did you deem these to be block bets at the time?

His hand just looked a lot like what it was - a one pair hand trying to get to showdown.
I would play some diamond flush draws like that on the turn. I wouldn"t want to raise fold them and raise - get it in might be a bit thin so would call relatively often then raise river when the flush hits.
I don"t think the line is ridiculous, a tad spewy though. I thought he would struggle to call with a queen, let alone an 8. Turns out he was a fish and didn"t fold any pairs ever. I probably shouldn"t have done this when he had been at the table about 3 hands and I was readless.

I"d have struggled to fold a pair getting about 8-1 on the river. If you are gonna bluff a fish you have really got to make it stick and probably should bluff raise the turn bet rather than the really small raise on the river.
But preflop is so unnecessary with what is a terrible hand, but I guess you know this.

Oh, I think pre is ok.. seems like a decent hand to have as a 3bet bluff, blockers... will have position when called. . It all goes wrong from flop onwards, not 3balling random aces like this that often though.
