You would double with a good hand, so any bid by you is non-forcing. Bid 2H.
The opponents have not announced a good fit and you may not have one either. Pass.
5-5 shape is exciting, but don’t overdo it. 2NT would be mis-descriptive and 3C would be forcing. Try for a plus score right here. Pass
Don’t even think about it! Pass.
Even if you play splinter bids, a 4C bid might be confusing. It is partner’s suit, after all. Don’t risk confusing partner without a good reason. Bid 4H.
Take advantage of the vulnerability and pre-empt your opponents. Bid 2S. There are some scoundrels about who would bid 3S.
