Pass now .. we likely have a missfit 21 or 22 combined HCP and PD's ♣ should be at least a good 6 carder.

Should I have passed last turn ? I think the answer depends on how likely PD is to give a 3 card raise to 2♠ vs rebidding ♣ but with game unlikely passing last turn is prudent.

Pass.

Depends a little on the meaning of 2D,
for me this would be NMF, and 3C would
show a min.

But I would pass it out.

I'd rather bid 2NT the round before than 2♦, 2♦ is GF for me.

On the given hand, there are times where you make 3NT and you don't make 3♣ (like the hand given), If the opponents are not doubling your games, 3NT can be a winner in the long run.

usually only if partner's bidding bears no relation to his hand (like the hand given)

Perhaps they don't play 2♦ as game-forcing?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
