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.

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.
