Matchpoints
1♥ can be four
4♥ is distribution - not a lot of HP (2NT would have gameforce with support)

What to bid and why?

Yes. I believe that is called the Alcatraz Coup, or a form of it.

The most popular form allows you to stop in 5NT after Blackwood -- bid 4NT again and correct it to 5NT.

pass is a reasonable option since this hand is suitable to defense.

Pass -- not enough distribution to bid on, not enough defense to double.
