Do they bid a 4 card major before a 4 card minor?

Don't know for certain but I would say likely.

Ace and a club
"definitely that's what I like to play when I'm playing standard - I want to be able to bid diamonds because bidding good suits is important in bridge" - Meckstroth's opinion on weak 2 diamond

That is what I did. At the time I could see little point in ducking but I wondered after if ducking is better if declarer holds the KQ and might not think to make a second club trick by forcing my ace on thin air. Declarer did hold ♣KQ and 11 tricks were made. That was shared with half the tables, the other half which held it to 10 tricks didn't lead a club so maybe this is more down to an unfortunate lead.

Same.
QJ diamonds is too slow and might trap partners Q
KT hearts isn't enough.
Plus the max gain is partner having KJTxx clubs where you make 6 tricks.
