Results:
Final pot: $4

After my PRF I realized I'd just sat down at this table and had a grand total of 8 hands worth of history with the entire table, so I had no read on anyone at all.

In retro spect, I think all of them possibley but especially MP3 figured it was a set-up to steal, my PFR that is, with something weak. I probably should have raised more PF, maybe thinning the field.

With the flop I got and MP3's pot-bet (probably a steal of his own) folding was right here or no?

If i was gonna raise preflop, i max raise but other than that, its a horrible flop so just fold.

Yup, good fold. If he made a play then more power to him, it will catch up eventually. Make sure you raise with hands NOT including AA and A2 every so often and that kind of stuff will calm down a bit, or he'll make a play like that when you have KKJT and you can stack him.

At the $25s your PFR might not have mattered. I'd hope to get reraised so I can come over the top, but it really depends on table texture. AA25 is a monster and (normally) I'd be ok with getting all in preflop. Even 5 ways, your hand was most likely a major favorite, you just swung and missed.
