B v B i don’t think this bad at all, especially to just over a min raise. The only thing I might have done different is raise the flop instead of the turn, you then have control of the pot if he just calls on the the flop and a turn jam might work.

I like the call. As others have pointed out, you should rarely fold when you are in position against a wide range getting such good odds. The problem with 3-betting is that it risks a lot relative to calling, opens you up to a 4-bet, and denies you your positional advantage. If you start 3-betting every single time you have an ugly hand in this spot, you will probably end up extremely exploitable to a 4-bet.
Post-flop, I like your line for the reasons you gave. Whether to call or raise the flop mostly has to do with how often you think Villain will double-barrel bluff (because that will be most if not all of his bet-fold range on the turn). I don’t think “take control of the betting” is a strategically meaningful concept.
