How much should AQ bhe pushed preflop? Decent play or should I have called the 2 extra bets to see the flop. However in this case the flop would have given me TPTK I would simply have lost more money. But I don't want to get too result oriented here. I want to know in the general sense of good poker playing was my play preflop correct or incorrect.

Player/table dependent, but I don't mind your preflop fold at all. If the AQ is suited and you have some very aggressive preflop players, then I might call the extra two to see a flop. Normally, a cold cap OOP is a pretty strong indicator of a hand though.

What sean said. Fold it, it's not that great with that action, unless the players are super lags 3betting and capping with any two

First, what a great post format. I really like the hand synopsis format as opposed to pasting in the hand history. Much easier to follow the main points of the hand. Pasting in the suits also helps.
I LOVE your "results in white" format. This is great and I hope that other posters will adopt the same format. I mean, this is perfect. I get the chance to think about the hand, do some analysis, and then get instant gratification on seeing the results. Really nice and I haven't seen it before.
On the preflop play, calling gives you 5:1 on your money with the strong chance that MP-2 will call and that is pretty good odds with pretty good starting cards. I've had chances to get 7:1 with crappola and cold called a one-bet raise with 6 callers ahead of me. While there are strong indications of some monster hands (subject to your read on the other players as others have noted) the ROI is pretty high. I really consider just gambling when I start seeing 5:1 or 6:1 preflop. Somebody probably knows the break even odds to call with anything. (My favorite was being in the BB w/ 82o, having UTG raise, five callers(!!) so I called. Flop was 222.) But I can't bitch about your decision either. Note that if I'd called, made TP/TK I'd have gone down in spectacular flames.

Bolded portions are perfect analysis here
Just to second what sean said, if SB is willing to cap it knowing he is oop, it should be AA or KK or QQ.
Unless you specificially put one of them on AA or KK, I think 5 to 1 is enough to call here. Flop I most likly would call sb's bet and fold when other guy raises and sb 3 bet.
