I don't mind too much the way you played it, although I stay away from the min raises myself. I DO mind, however, the WHY you played it as you did.

Based on your analysis you should folded to his flop bet. I'm not sure though how you put him on top 2 pair with the action so far - his pot size bet could mean a lot of things. Based on you "read" raising here was terrible as you're drawing thin (possibly very thin).

The turn completes 2 straight draws. His min bet now means he doesn't have J, but now has a pair and a straight draw (which is still WAY ahead of you) and you're drawing to 10 outs (3 of which complete another straight draw that doesn't help you). I'm not sure why you think he's going to fold that...

I'm a big fan of having a plan for a hand and executing the plan, making adjustments as required. From that standpoint if you hadn't included your thoughts I'd be more OK with the way you played it. It looks like you had a plan to push him off a weak hand and followed through with it.

As described though I have more issues with your thoughts than your actions.
