Practical Puzzle in a BvN endgame

Here's a challenging position from a game I just played. Black to move.

Questions:
1. Is white winning, or is this position drawn? What does best play look like?
2. If white is winning, how can black try to swindle the game?
3. If the position is drawn, how can white try to steal a win?

This stuff is incredibly important at all levels. Remember that in the endgame both sides are usually under a bit of time pressure, so don't take too long .

I'll post the answer (and the entire game) tomorrow.
