1♠ 4+ cards, double would be support.

If you find it close, try converting ♦Q to another card till you change your mind

I'm passing. I don't have enough strength for anything else.

Convert the Q♦ to the K and I'll happily bid 3♦, leave me with the Q and I'll still bid 3♦ but with the feeling that I shouldn't be.

I'd probably pass but hate it. If it was the DK I'd bid 2N natural I guess.

EW Vul...are we EW or NS?
MP's or IMP's?
If we are green then I will always pass.

2nt minors ..not natural.

btw because of rebid problems prefer to open 1d here. If I open 1d then I pass now.

As it works out it looks like I got lucky opening 1c. :)

Pass - don't like it, but what else?

Double is support. 2N is usually 18-19 balanced. This isn't close to a reverse, but one possibility is if you use 2N as g/b here, whats wrong with 2N-->3♣-->3♦?

I don't feel that bad passing this. Change the ♦Q into the K and I would consider 2NT an option but pass would still be ok.
