Depends on the player who reraised and the notes you have on the player. Against most players, I'm calling a reraise and seeing a flop. The "why" depends on the person - I know plenty of players who reraise on small/mid PPs, AJ/ATs, etc. It also depends on how solid you are perceived at this table ... are you currently viewed as a "maniac"?

I immediately move all in.
1) if he does not have AA KK, coin toss w/ +EV
2) 10th better than 4th
3) You have him covered, and I am comfortable working w/ 300 w/ low blinds
4) you dominate a lot of hands that will call and any lower pair will/should lay down to you

Ehh. I'd immediately decide pre if i'm willing to play a K if it flops. Most likely I'm not, so I'd prolly fold. (If I was prudent enough to think of this)
If i'm not thinking, I'd prolly call and get scared out on the flop. Yayyyy.
I'd say strategy 1 is better. ^_^

I fold to the raise by Gabbaguu

I push all-in every time and never look back.
This guy min-raises the flop and then wants to get fancy. F him, he better have come to the dance with a couple of ladies and even then, I plan on hitting an Ace or a King to double up.
I agree with the poster who said 10th is better than 4th.
Then again, I play pretty aggressive and not everyone likes to play that way.

second everything except for Scan's sarcastic comment
you can argue call/push here ... i like pushing better since you get to see all 5 cards ...
seems to me like most 55 players would make a bigger re-raise with AA or KK ... but 99 - QQ is certainly in the ballpark here

I think you mis-read the post. The guy who min-raised wasn't the re-raiser. Min-raiser had a raise and a re-raise before it got back to him and he folded.
