I do not bet out again on the turn. I don't think this accomplishes anything accept allows him to raise you again. If you knew he was a chronic min raiser (which he seems to be) you could use this to control the size of his bet so you have odds to chase your flush.

To be honest, I lean towards folding preflop but I'm not used to 6 handed games so I don't know if that is overly tight to a min raise. However, looking for a good flop isn't bad if you are a good postflop player. That said, I call the flop raise and my actions are determined by his turn bet as I would check to him. Since he's a min raiser, they often don't bet correctly so he would have probably made it cheaper for you to draw than the $18 you ended up paying.
