Most hands I think of are -500. Even if partner has 3 clubs, they are likelly to get a ruff somehow.

I would pass

If they can get a club ruff then they're cold for 6. 5♠.

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

Definitely pass...We've made it hard for them and hopefully they've judged wrongly...
I can't see 5♠ being a great save and even if it is, we might not get a good score if lots of other people have bought it in 4...
(not that I know that to be true but..)

Agree with Pass, also agree with 4♠ (instead of 4♣) last round.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I would have bid 4C on the last round for the lead. Pass now.

Pard had a mildly strange JT9xxx xx AQx xx. 5H was cold. 5S is tick 2.

I passed at the table.

That's a 7-count with 6 spades, not strange at all! :)

Looking at both hands I'd like to defend 5H.

I would tend to bid, mainly because I think they are almost sure to make 5♥ -- and yes, a 4♣ bid last round would have been nice. I don't like fit-showing 4m bids when they might not bid over a direct 4M, but here it's pretty clear that they will.
