I agree with everyone that this is a clear pass, part 2 please.

Roger always says everything is obvious but this is really obvious.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Say LHO reopens with a double, Pass, Pass back to you... would 3NT be for the minors now?

What if LHO reopens with a double, Pass, 4♥ to you... Now what?

The 3NT running was really what I was curious about... It seems like it may have some merit playing it as minors there I think.

I agree pass is clear first time around. I would double 4♥. I would pass again if 3♠x comes around to me, regardless of what 3NT means.

redouble is probably running, two places to play (forcing to the four level with 0445 or the like is not a good idea), so not sure what 3NT would mean. I would need really extreme shape to take out partner's red 3♠ to the four level.

I would double 4♥, and pass out 3♠X.

It doesn't sound as though the opponents have a massive heart fit (except that we are told RHO might bid 4♥ instead of passing ;)). So partner might have 3 hearts to go along with his 7 spades, leaving very few minor suit cards.

In 3♠X we hope to take AKA in the minors to go along with 4 or 5 spade tricks. Not so bad, whereas 4♣X could be a bloodbath.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Dunno if 4♥X goes down... p p to me would be a definite 3N bid for me ;)
