My 2h is a bid without GIB's explanation.
How to defense over foring 1nt? I guess there is no this option on GIB CC,so I suggest GIB can use VASILEVSKY convention.

Yes, there should be an explanation of 2♥, but it looks like you simply made a double-and-correct. Would 2♠ over 1NT have been Michaels? I also wonder why East didn't bid 2♠ over 2♦.

Maybe he didn't want to commit to the 3 level?

Sorry, I wasn't necessarily suggesting that was the proper bid; I was merely asking whether that would have been Michaels or something else.

At the moment 2♥ shows -> -- rebiddable ♥; 18+ total points

Missing explanation might be caused of some temporarily issue with fetching explanation by web server at this time.

2♠ shows -> !Michaels -- 5+ ♥; 9+ total points; forcing

If E doesn't bid 2♠ over 1♠ directly, does it make sense to bid it over 2♦? Presumably the intent was to make a weak sign off in spades, and competing for GIB often shows extras.

I have to tell the truth.
Actually I don't know how to take action,so I have a try to use VASILEVSKY convention that X shows ♣ suit and then I am going to rebid 2♥ showing two suited.

Vasilevsky is about 1000x too obscure to even suggest GIB play. The standard is that suits are natural overcalls, double is takeout of spades, and 2 spades is Michaels, which is what GIB plays now so GIB is fine here IMO.
