BB was playing very tight passive at final table, but he just doubled up in a coinflip the hand before.

Do you think I should have bet a little more on this flop? Maybe around 950-1100? I would have been very happy to take the pot down then. I was pretty much commited once he called (since he only had 1600 left), so I just pushed the turn and of course I run into some bad luck.

I go broke easily in such scenarios. With a weak hand OOP you're supposed to go broke here 90% of the time.

The problem is you dont even know if they're drawing or not. They could be chasing overcards or even a backdoor flush!

(the best play is prolly to fire a pot-sized bet, then check/fold. If you want to go all the way with the hand if the turn is a blank, then I'd definitely distribute the bets more towards the flop, ie overbet the pot!!)
