c) Yes. "* Qsuite is available on select routes for Qatar Airways Business Class. Please check the availability of Qsuite for your flight at the time of booking."

d) Did Qatar offer more QSuites seats for sale than they had available?
d) Yes (I think but I am way too lazy to do the verification. )

Of course Qatar will argue no/no/no/no with points of their own.

For a small claims consumer complaint, I am not sure you need all yes's to win. At least in the USA, courts tend to favor consumers over big bad corporations. YMMV
Only one factor could make it arguable; but:
a) I can't think of any airline where every flight in every class is identical. one man's meat... etc.
b) You'd need pricing differences consistently on the same route / times
c) That seems positive for QR as it's not blind luck

d) Are you saying that they listed qsuites on aircraft that didn't have them?
