It's known as Equal Level Conversion (ELC). Even people who don't play it at lower levels usually play it this high up.

At least you had a plan, the alternative would
be 3NT.

Nice problem and no clear answer. 3N has appeal but obvious holes and will end the bidding. Dble a nice choice providing partner does not consider 5C just as nice a choice.
I'd stick with this partner, they seem to have the right response to your problem bids!
