double, then:
Bid 2NT over 2♥
Raise 2♠ to 4♠
Raise 2NT (natural) to 3NT
Bid 2NT over 2♥
Raise 2♠ to 4♠
Raise 2NT (natural) to 3NT
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Same as gnome with the exception that would raise 2S to 3S. Raising to 4 might well find me off 3 aces and another Club.

I would X. After 2H I think bidding 2S is better because
a) If partner is very weak I'd rather play 2S than 2N.
If partner is not very weak it will be impossible to get to a 5-3 spade fit after 2N, but it will be possible to get back to NT over 2S. So it basically comes down to a question of "do I want to get to a 5-3 spade fit on this hand if one is available" which I think is a reasonably close question but I'd say that on average, yes, I do.
After 2S I think bidding 3D and passing a 3S bid from partner is enough. 3D doesn't show primary support, but partner will usually just bid 3S with a bad hand and do something else with a good hand. If partner doesn't have enough to make a move after a cuebid then I don't think my hand is that great.
Over 3C I would bid 3N since 3S would endplay partner with no diamond stopper.

Dbl, and then
2♥ --> 2♠
2NT (leb) --> 3♠
2♠ --> 4♠ (optimistic, but pard might pass with ♠Axxx and that's probably all I need)
3♣ --> 3♠ (pard knows I'm strong and will bid 3NT with misfit, even without stopper)
etc.
