I like 2NT on this hand. Sort of a "gambling 2NT." The quacky holdings outside the suit make 3♥ somewhat less appealing, but I think 2♥ is something of an underbid.
Rebidding 1♥ wouldn't occur to me.

Would 3H over 2nt rebid be forcing, slam try or passable?

Looks like a standard 3H rebid, but because of all the outside quacks, downgrading to 2H would be reasonable.
2N sounds cute and funny.... Then responder bids 6N with a flat 15, the opps double and run the first 5 diam tricks... Partner does not share my sense of humor.

I don't like 2NT on this hand because it seems to overstate the strength.
(This doesn't look lik 18-29 balanced to me)
If I were going to treat the hand as balanced, I think that I'd open 1N at the get go.
As for my rebid...
Mark me down for 2♥
The Qx in Spades looks to be pulling a bit more weight, but the minor suit holding don't excite me

3♥ looks 'down the middle'. 2N is a little weird for me.
If I'm making a weird bid, its 2♣.

This is MP not IMPs so I don't see the need to take risks and press on to game.
The problem I see with 3♥ is pard will accept game with 2-3 hearts and AKJxx♠ and you may go down. I think your minor suit holding is potentially wasted.
What does pard need to accept raising 3♥ to 4?
You have 6 losers, and need pard to cover 3 of them. How likely is pard to have that?
The opps haven't bid (pard may have 5 spades) so they rate to be balanced or don't have much.

(To be honest here..) This is the sort of hand where I find myself with an impossible rebid. I would likely end up bidding 2♣ to force another bid from my partner, hoping to hear nt or ♠.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
