It would have been helpful to post the pot size at each street. The info is there but it would save us adding.
I think 2NL Zoom is crazy-loonville-under-the-ocean.
P2 has $4 though which looks to be twice the max buyin so he's probably comparatively competent and likely has a range leaning heavy in PPs and SCs: draws and pairs are not improbable when he calls flop.
In MP I could see flatting the flop to keep the other player in but not as last to act. If you're concerned they'll fold then min-raising is acceptable (with the intention of folding to a bet on a flush board if both call) but the draws make a more aggressive bet better imo.
At $1.13-Rake you are right that the pot was respectable when you Shoved. When set mining you want your hits to win at least 10x what you risked pre-flop and here you have $1.13-R-18c = ~90c for your initial 6c ...you certainly don't want to settle for less than you can get. At this point your $1.86 is barely over a Pot-bet though so it's not unacceptably intimidating and at this level there's a good chance of at least one call (who might fold if you wait for the River and don't fill their draw).
Bear in mind that the 10x figure is pretty much break-even* and you are trying to make a profit here! This is a one in 144 hand: take it for all you can get!
* you hit the set about 1/8.5 but will lose a few of those won't get paid off every time you do. Estimates for what size stack you need people to have preflop vary between 10x and 20x.
