FT bubble spot with 77

We are on exact bubble of the final table of a freezout with ~500 players. 10th place pays about 7 buy-ins, 9th place is 9 BI, 1st place is like 110 BI. Almost all the remaining players (including myself) are >98% rated by OPR with combined profit well into seven figures. There are no desperate short stacks, the shortest player is like 16 bbs.

Our stack is 6/10, 24 big blinds. Our stats are 17/13/5. We are on the button with 7-7, two people fold, and we raise 2 bbs.

1) Is it better to limp to avoid ICM rape at this spot?

Brazilian chipleader (~50 bbs) on the small blind runs like 28/23/12. He 3bet two of my three opens earlier, first time with AA (I won preflop with an underpair), second time I folded. Once again he 3bets me to 4.5bb, and the big blind folds.

2) What is the best line here?

Math hint: if he is calling a shove with 99+ AQ+, I need him to fold ~48% of hands to make it a chip-neutral play.
But I have no idea how to adjust math to reflect ICM.
