1♣ is Strong and 4♣ is GF, so West can make a forcing pass now if he wants to. He can cue immediately, pass-then-cue, etc. What do you play in this sort of situation?
Apologies - it was W who opened and N who bid 3♥, etc

Do you have the EW hands reversed?

Yes, he does.
If spades where the fit I 'd bid 5♠ asking for ♥ control and after showing first round then perhaps play 7. But with clubs I don't know how to do that.
West can pass 4♥ and then over partner's presumed 5♣ bid 5♦ this gets partner to cue 5♥ and now we are talking buisness.

I am passing. This should show no penalty double in ♥ and a balanced or semibalanced hand, or a ultra strong one suiter.
If p doubles I will pull to 5♣ which will show Slam try, hopefully p will pass with no ♥ control. If I had ♥control myself I could just RKCB with 4NT.
If he bids 5♣, I will cue, if he bids something else I will pull to 5♣, which should be a slam try with no control.

Sweet, but how do you get to 6♣ when dummy has?
or
Is East meant to bid 6 with any hand including a singleton heart?

On the first one you cant, i would end up in 7 and hope ♠ Q falls after seeing ♦ duplication. People preempt for a reason, dont expect me to give you a bidding that works % 100 too heavy preempts by opponents.
Second one responder does not have 5♥ bid. He should ask aces imo if 4NT is available for that in their methods.
