good or worse depend which side we defend or offense ;)
6♥ seem that is -4 which in nonvuln is 800. too higher then 6X0 or 710 mostly

on open cards with single ♥ in EW hands 6♠ could be claimed if KJ ♦ are in doubler hand

I think it is 5 off, still better than 1430, 1460 or a grand against.

Depends, of course, if you think your team mates will get to a slam.

I know my bidding is often ridiculed (but I did have seven hearts this time) and my play is poor, but even I can make 8 tricks on this hand (and nine with the misdefence) ;)

Yes 5 tricks is 4 off.

This depends on whether the field is bidding slam or not. If yes, then it's a good result.
