You open 1NT (15-17) all pass.

The defenders quickly cash five diamond tricks and exit a club. What do you pitch from both hands? The opening leader had AQ753 and her partner will pitch the 4 on the fifth round.

Did not see this right, sorry. I pitch 2 hearts & a spade from each hand.

And when LHO exits a club, which hand do you win in and what do you play for?

I pitch hearts from dummy, and 2 hearts and a spade from hand. I hope for 3-2 spades or the A of hearts onsides. There might be something better...but I don't see it.

I would win in the KQx hand, cash a high spade, and then run clubs. I will look to see if righty pitches a heart honor from his hand; if he does, I'll pitch a spade on the last club and play righty to have been squeezed. If not, then I'll have to guess based on table feel/club information/etc.

I'm really hoping for the layout where righty has 4 spades and the QJ of hearts, where it will be really obvious what to play for in the end position (and because I've never intentionally executed a vice squeeze before).

1 spade & 2 hearts from both hands

Cash one spade and cash all the clubs, pitching another spade from dummy, play heart to the king.
