bet the turn

if you gonna raise, raise 3x perflop then 1/2 -> 3/4 pot flop as a standard c-bet

nothing wrong to bet 2bb from the button if you've got a really high steal.

are there any other situations where open raising 2bb is okay?

all of them

2bb button open is fine/good obviously.

The flop bet should probably be a tad bigger. When the ace rolls off on the turn I bet turn and bet almost any river card. Villain will usually calls turn with hands like 9T and pitch them on blank rivers.

As a general rule of thumb for micro stakes I would only be minraising against tight/shortstacked blinds. I would say it's directly better right now for you to actually tighten up your button range and compensate by raising more, as you should be pretty value-focused right now.

Raising wider is still "correct" poker but what actually happens is you get yourself into a lot of marginal situations which imo are completely unnecessary (and potentially hugely -ev) if you're just starting out and trying to move up the micros.
