It was on a final table, I had two smaller chips so I didn't say allin, there is a difference between the money here, what would have been the correct play, could it have been folded?

you have played correctly, any person will play like this in a normal game.

There is an other option: If you want to put pressure on small stakes who are behind you, you should save your chips and defend your blinds with good hands.

As played we have to fold the flop---Just calling preflop means we were trying to hit our hand and go all-in with it we missed fold--
Over limping the KQoff is not the best choice based on this Final table dynamic--the huge stack is yet to act the SB has us covered the limper can have a strong hand and the BB can shove for 1/3 our stack.

KQoff is not a strong hand in an ICM spot- Our actions without specific reads in this spot should be 1 Fold 2 all-in 3 raise to 2.5 4 call

Preflop
With less than 10BB we should pretty much always be playing a push or fold strategy. If CO is a regular or tight player, who now suddenly limp with his 8BB stack, then it smells like a trap, and I probably just fold and let someone else confront him. But if CO is an average $1 fish limping all the time, then I would be happy to jam KQo over his limp. If everyone folds, you increase your stack 20% uncontested, which is a fantastic outcome. And if you get action from a single player, there will be a big overlay in the pot, and KQo is a decent enough hand.

Flop
As played I would also fold. I dont think, there are many hands in his range, you are ahead of on that board. Even if he has A high, you are still the one drawing to 6 outs at most.
