1. I think this is a clear pass. Stiff Q in their suit, two defensive tricks, scattered values etc... I think 5♣ will be wrong most of the time, and when it might be a decent save, we are beating 4♠ anyway. Definitely passing this.
2. Double.

1. Pass. Tempting but it's too defensive. Probably -300 and the odds of them making are not enough when it's a three IMP gain vs an eight IMP loss. 5♣ would be ok at matchpoints though.
2. The problem with double is that it rules out hearts, which is probably our best suit. Partner is going to bid three of a minor whhich I have to pass because dbl then 3♥ would be a better hand than this. But my hearts are a bit poor for 3♥ so I guess double is best. Again at matchpoints I would probably just bid 3♥.

What rogeclee said. Double does not rule out playing in hearts, partner might scrable.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

1. A lot depends on where pard has his hcp. I'll gamble 4♠ makes and bid 5♣.
2. Dbl. Wouldn't do it if I hadn't open 3rd seat, though.

On 1) I would go ahead and try 5♣ because a) you might push them to 5♠ and b] our defensive prospects looks dim and we may be able to hold it to -2 which at MP could/should be the best result we can get at this point.
2) I would pass because while we probably have a fit it could be in 3 suits and we can't untangle the mess at this point. So just try to beat 2♠.

You opened in 4th seat, not 3rd, there is quite a difference.

For those who are curious what would have worked , here are partner's hands :
1.
If you pass , 4♠ would be down 2 (or maybe even 3), possibly doubled by partner.
If you bid 5♣ you go down 1.
2.
If you double , or bid 3♣, you may get to the excellent 4♥ , if partner rebids 3♥ (would he?) and you decide to raise.
