I think I'm ahead on the turn, but not 100% sure.  His call scared me.  When the turn comes down, do I bet out and how much?  What do I do if he re-raises me?

You bet your hand for value on this board, if he re-raises you fold most of the time.

There is no doubt in my head that you are ahead (i am a fish  ;flushy;)

Unless he has backed into a flush I have to think you're ahead. I don't think he has a pocket pair that made the boat on the turn.

I reckon he could have AQ of spades from his turn bet (top pair with the nutflush draw could make him think about reraising here). In a deepstack tourney I would probably check call here as this is a STT I would lead out for roughly 300 and call if he raises.

Tricky. If he has either the flush or the boat I expect him to lead out here. I think you're ahead but I don't think you'll get the call if you do value bet. I check. That way you see his cards too ... information for later.
