Q2 is the easiest, J of ♣ need to be doubleton, and the ♥ need to behave, either singleton or doubleton J or Jxxx(x) onside.
Q1 you can play for a bad trump break, but you still need the ♥ to behave as above. Make sure you ruff the ♠ with the 10 and 8 of ♣.

At the table I would win the ♠K (west will not have 7), and lead a ♠. If EAST ruffs, WEst has 6♠, if not, I will win the ♠A. Let's take both lines starting with EAST follows to trick two.
Now, I lead a ♠ and ruff with the Ten. If EAST over ruffs, I win the ♦ return cross to my hand (for sake of argument, both follow), and I ruff my last ♠ high and pull trumps.
How were club split. IF they split 3-2 with 3 in WEST, I will surely play EAST for the ♥JACK if it doesn't fall. IF they split 2-3 with 3 in EAST, then the key math is 7 know cards in WEST, 5 in east. I will cash the two top and still play EAST for Jxxx (longer). If they split 1-4 with 4 in WEST (and stiff ♣J with EAST :=( ) I will again play for the 3-3 split.
Other intersting line is win ♠A, ♦A, ruff ♦, ♥A, ruff ♦, ♥K, ruff ♦ (these ♦ ruffs with ♣AKQ.. .exit ♣9. I am not goiing to play this dummy reveral, however.
How do i play 7♣. Win ♠K, ♠A, ♠ruff with 8, ♣to my hand, ♠ ruff with the T, pull trumps, hope to find ♥JACK (WEST needs ♣J
