I find myself taking part in the following dialogue over and over again:
Me (declaring or defending, after a trick or two) 'What is your NT range?"
Opp (slowly explaining, as to a beginner) 'We did not open 1NT'

Lol, this happens to me all the time, but beware because some old ladies might not open 1NT because they only have Jxx in a major and that is not a stopper.

And second she might be planning ahead a biddign that is going to happen and wants to know the meaning of a future bid that might happen.

Yes but if you ask a question for that reason after having looked at your hand, you may transmit the UI that you hold a kind of hand that makes such an auction likely.

Correct, but that doesn't make it illegal to ask. It's any use of UI by partner that's illegal.
