2. It's always been "boom or bust" as far as I know!
It means either good times (boom) or bad (bust).

:hi: my dear NJmaverick!

4. That's what I thought, but I have seen people using Boom and wiki lists the phrase as boom
so now I am trying to figure out the correct one.

3. An economic boom is a boon to a community. Now... is it a sinking or a sneaking suspicion?
Sinking.
