This is completely unambiguous. I would never pull 4♥ to 5♣ at any form of scoring after bidding 3♥, no matter what 3♥ showed.

Agree that 5♣ is forward-going. Not a "pull". But I don't see why it can't be natural.

I prefer a style in which 3♥ promises real support and this hand bids 3♦, waiting. I realize this is not standard. Also, such a waiting bid in the 4th suit should apply only when it's the cheapest bid.

Yes. (see the other thread for the same post at much greater length).
