Red vs white I held:

♠AK98xx
♥QJxxx
♦Q
♣Q

Bidding goes:
Pass 1♠ 2♣ 2NT
Pass 3♥ Pass 3NT
Pass ???

What would you have bid?

Maybe I should have bid 4♥ on my second turn.

Another question, doesn't 3♥ show 5 cards? Doesn't 2NT deny 4 heart cards?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I would have bid 4♥ last turn, assuming that 2NT was natural non-forcing.

I don't see why 3♥ showed a 5 card suit - it just seems a natural, descriptive bid letting partner know something about our hand.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

A hand strong enough to bid 2NT is also strong enough to dbl if it has 4♥s, thus there's a point in 3♥ showing 5.

Anyway, I'm pulling to 4♠ on grounds pard has at most 4 cards in diamonds (he could have bid 2♦ instead of 2NT with 5) and hence a high likelyhood of having 2 spades.
