1st Hand I would open 2♥s unless we agreed to play solid preempts 1/2 seat. Your partner has a clear raise to game.

2nd Hand I would also overcall 1♠ and would be very annoyed if partner bids 3N on this. 2♣+2NT is plenty

3♥ and 2♣

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

On the second, I bid 3NT, partner came down with 9xxxxx KJTx Jx x,

I once made a 1S overcall with a spade suit like that, although a few more points, and we ended up defending and partner, a very good player, led a spade. "You didn't even want me to lead the suit" she said, and I learned a lesson.

I'd actually have more sympathy with a 2S overcall. At least then partner can appreciate it might be a long suit of poor quality and not necessarily the thing to lead when you are in defence. These days people make simple overcalls on quite strong hands, and there's a case to be made that they should at least promise a suit you'd want partner to lead. One can of course agree quite different things, but then provided you haven't devised a splatter gun you'll be on the same wavelength
