After 3♥,GIB should start cuebid sequences for showing fit,if do so,it would be easier to find slam.

I think this is not good bidding style if it is unable to display the features of the hand holding.

I agree with you. But I also feel that E/W were playing a very deep game, given that 7C only goes for 500.

Probably a limitation of the system, I don't think W has a bid to ask for the minor after 3♥. A human would take a lot of clubs to be P/C but in GIB's system it probably shows some huge hand with self-sufficient clubs.

2NT shows clubs and hearts, there is no unknown suit. So W can just bid clubs.

Whoops, you're right. I was thinking of Michaels.

If 4♠ is meant as natural, as it appears to be, then "3+D; 3+S" is quite insufficient.
