IMP pairs. NS playing Precision (but the opening1♦ promised 4), which maybe explains S's bid, though it hadn't occurred to either of us she could be that weak (say if this makes a difference).

Where do we want to be, and where should we actually end up?

Supplementary question - if East had doubled, what would you do as west?

E's double should show spades, 1♠ is a very standard psyche here.

I think E should bid 2♦ which I think shows this hand, you can pass with diamonds with partner known to be short.

W should start 1♠ imo, but starting DBL actually could work for them better on this particular hand.
E hand is borderline between invite and gf after the double but even if East forced, not sure if they would find the right game.
I would not make a huge deal out of any bid in this auction.
