Pass, I don't think this is so close, although I might well bid if the ♠A was somewhere else.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

against my usual opponents who like to bid 5 over 5 I'd try 5♥

5♥ maybe bidding to make maybe trying to save. But give partner the 3 non-♠ Ks and this will have a shot.

5♥ seems completely nuts to me.

Not now thanks. Not with A Ax!

too much defence, not enough offence and, finally, if we do bid 5♥, we won't (usually) be happy if partner thinks his red AK A are good enough to raise.
