1. 3♦. TBH I can't even see the rationale for anything else. Partner can continue with three of either major (forcing) if he wants.
2. Yes.
2. Yes.

- Now? 3♦ = 10. 2♠ = 8. 3♥ = 6.
- Open? 2♦ (if available) = 10. 1♦ = 9. Pass = 8.

1. 3 ♦ - shows a minimum hand with ♦ and no fit for partner's suits. Your 1 loser almost solid ♦ suit will be good at a ♦ contract, but may not be worth much to partner in a major contract. Conversely, honors in partner's suits can be useful to you in a ♦ contract. Raising partner's 2nd suit is rarely right with 3 card support.
2. A weak 2 ♦ if available, otherwise 1 ♦. If the ♦ suit were a major, I'd always open 1 of the major with a guarded K outside.

1-3♦
2-It is a matter of style. "Should" or "Should not" are too strong, without knowing your style and other bids available imho.
