Assuming that's supposed to be 2533, one would bid 3NT (non-serious).

If you play Serious 3NT, this hand is another good reason to change your methods.

You are non-serious with the AKQ in trumps and the spade Ace?!?!?

If 3NT is serious, that's at least closer to right, but you still miss the opportunity to show the most important feature of your side values.

Yes, of course. It's still a 5332 13-count.

Opponents won't interfere.

1s=2h
2s?\(6 or catchall 5)=3c
3h(should this promise 3 or hx)=3s(not sure what this shouldmean.)
