I didn't read any of that, but the A and K of diamonds seem irrelevant to me as entries. Presuming west has the king of hearts and east has the jack and ten, you can squeeze either one with four clubs, and in fact you will have a sure thing with no need to guess. When you have a spade and xxxx of clubs opposite Q9 of hearts and AKQ of clubs, just play AK of clubs. If west has clubs guarded you ruff out the heart king. If east has clubs guarded then he has already pitched the J or T of hearts (presuming he has them both) and you lead the queen of hearts to crush the other and set up the 9. What do diamonds have to do with it?
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Yes, you are right. We don't need a diamond entry in South hand.

Only problem is East might win ♥A with ♥AK10x and ♣J10xx, and then switch. You will have to guess in the end.

Yes, Ace could have been a "false" card from AK, but given no other information, chances that it is a true card are higher than it being a false card (restricted choice again).

Anyway, the problem statement did mention that assuming that the A is a true card is a reasonable assumption.
