You would received the answer "natural".
Also, I should have mentioned that 1♠ is 4+ and limited to 16 if it matters.

I know i have a balanced hand but pd doesnt, he made his bid r/w and i have all the help he needs. Worst case scenario will be we will go down 1 when +300 was available. I dont expect to take 6 tricks in defense even if pd has xx ♠ and stiff ♦ and we manage to give him 2 ruffs we may end up getting 5 tricks only. Not neccesarilly but most of the time we get 6 tricks in defense, we will make 5 level contract. I can see easily it can be 8-9 tricks for them and 11 tricks for us.

At this vulnerability, it's tempting to bid on, but what is pard's style for Michaels at these colors?

I suspect the 3NT bidder was just messing around.

Partner heard my raise but may not know if it was based on distribution or values. I think the DBL tells it's on values.
If partner is more distributional -- 6-5 or 6-6 -- partner can bid on.

I also wonder if there was way for stablishing a forcing pass wich I would love to make now. There doesn't seem to
If partner has clubs we make 11 tricks and maybe 12. If partner has diamonds they make a lot of tricks anyway so why not bid on? I always lose 7 IMPs for bidding on on this situations.
4NT sounds like it.

It seems like 5 level contract is making often enough and they won't go down too much in 4S (or even somehow make it). I bid 4N hoping it has "pick your long suit" implications.
