2♦ pass ?
The 1NT overcall is natural.
Do responder's bids here have the same meaning as without the intervention, or does the overcall change things?

I would say "yes". If you're weak (and would have passed without the 1NT) same reasons for passing apply , only more so :
opener's 2♦ after the 1NT is surely a (good?) 6 card suit.
Agreeing that 2♥ is nf , only "correcting" the partscore , seems to imply you think that you should not explore for (and make) a game once they overcalled 1NT.
While the 1NT bid shows a good hand , I dont think opening side should be giving up on exploring/inviting/making game just yet.

Having said that it is a good question, I think that responder will almost always pass or bid 2NT, 3D or 3NT.

Interesting. With most partners I play (1♥)-x-(1♠)-x as showing spades, but don't have any other bids to allow for the opponents to have psyched. I wonder what else is out there...

NOT leave bid out/Dbl to you?
I'm 70% reliable he fears running clubs
with stops in the 1NT.
He fears your bid out is trouble.
Some thing like 2=3=6=2.
Pass unless 1NT was a joke and you have 12+ hcp.

Yes, unless there has been a specific partnersip agreement to the contrary, Responder's bids should have the same meaning as in an uncontested auction. It's still possible for the opening side to have game on here.

And what if they're confused, 1NT is sandwich showing a weak hand with the unbid suits and they misalerted? Then we'll be in a pretty bad position without something being forcing.
