2S is too obvious in this situation to have to confuse pard with anything else. He will expect 10-14 (Jump in balancing being intermediate ie 14-16 and double being classic shape etc.) and will raise if appropriate.

The later stipulations reveal the effect of preempts. I would think about 3S in the first case and double in the second, but might just pass at unfavorable vulnerability whenever.

;) A weak 2 bid followed by two passes is NOT the same as
1♠-P-2♠-P
P-???
BECAUSE an 8+ card fit has not been established. Therefore, a bid in the passout seat has to be stronger than a typical balance situation - rather it has to be similar to one made in direct position. Therefore, the notion of a slightly substandard 'strong jump overcall' in this circumstance is B*LLS**T.
