Versus an uknown raiser at NL50 your hand is more than good enough when you are getting 2.2:1

Given the fact that villian came into the pot with a raise I think your at best a 50/50 here. Even if villian has the nut flush you still have 4 outs. Not the greatest odds.

This is a very tough spot and is the kind of situation where you separate the best players from the merely good. The problem that I see is that you have no reads on your opponent.
Preflop call of raise is fine given your impled odds. Flop bet is good, but when he calls you have to start wondering what he has. I like your turn bet too...it is perhaps a bit too big given the circumstances. But, when he pushes on you there, you are almost certainly behind IMO (perhaps the only legit hand a normal player would play that way that you are ahead of is AcAx). But, that is unlikely. You can also be pretty sure the 2 did nothing for him so he is telling you he has a big hand. Anyone who calls a pot-sized flop bet and then pushes over a pot-sized turn bet on that board is either a complete maniac, a world class player, or has you beaten really badly (which is my guess...probably with a flush but not the nuts)
Given no reads, I lay it down here. You are getting only 2-1 and only have 4 outs.

eh, call me crazy but I would have easily check raised the flop
For me, I'd call that all-in on the turn any day of the week. My guess is an overpair with a club. If he flopped a set, which is definitely possible, then just take the beat & suck it up. If he happened to flop the nut flush, why would he be trying to scare you out with the big turn bet?
I'd definitely call here on the turn, but then again I suck at this game.

What raising hands are we behind to here? Nut flush or an aggresively played pocket 8's or 6's. It's hardly 50/50 as most raising hands did not improve on that flop.

The way the hand was played, I think it's an easy call. My guess is QQ-AA (maybe even JJ if this guy is real bad) with a high .

Given the preflop action it's an easy call. When there is a raise before the flop it essentially shortens your stack. If your stack is shorter you have to be willing to play for it with less. In this case the raise was very large so your stack is pretty short, relatively speaking. Also, I'd check raise the flop.

Well, I put him on a overpair with a club and decided to call.
The river: 2
...and I win the pot. I'm not sure what he could have had.
