Preflop
You are not supposed to do a lot of calling from SB against an EP open, and this is way to loose. Just fold and wait to be on BTN next hand.

Flop
As played I think, you have to continue at least one street for this sizing. You have bottom pair and an OESD, and while it is kind of a "bad draw", since someone could have the straight already with KQ, you could also have the best hand from time to time with bottom pair, as was actually the case here. If you are going to fold to a small bet on the flop, even when you connect relatively well like here, then calling preflop is definitely not profitable.

Results
I have no idea, what UTG think, he was doing on the river. Betting top pair for value with 4 cards to a straight and 3 to a flush? Poker is certainly alive, at least in the micros.
