I like it a lot..

Your ahead of Ax flush draw, and have outs agaisn't an over pair...

But I will let the experts chime in..

You might have gotten the first two positions to call if you'd just called instead of pushing there. Flopping a paired open ended straight flush draw is fun, but don't forget to try to make some money on it, too. I would have probably just called on flop and then pushed on turn no matter what the card More often than not, it's going to be a card that you like:

2 outs for trip 7s
8 outs for straight
9 outs for flush

That is a lot of outs.

On top of this, without any reads, your agressor ahead of you may just be on unpaired overs and you already have him beat.

I just don't know if you really want to isolate by pushing when you did, I think you could drag more of them along (possibly) by just cold calling.

This is 25nl and there is already $12 in the pot. I definately don't mind taking the pot down on the flop and if he calls I have a great chance to get even more.

The reason to push there is if you think you can take the pot without seeing any more cards. But the $5 raise means you may get a call, so I would simply call that bet or reraise to $10, to isolate. The raiser may be semi-bluffing with AXs so a reraise will probably isolate to the two of you, giving you a big advantage on the draw. From that point on, you want to play it slow if the flush hits.

You are double counting cards

I can't slowplay if I make a flush because another spade counterfits my hand. And I may be dominated.

I said "play it slow" not "slowplay it" :)

What I mean is avoid all-in moves. 1/2 pot bets rather than pot-sized. that sort of thing.

That means the same thing to me but I understand what you are saying.
