I'm impressed...

So you really have an MBA in Klingon!  :O)

I just tried with

style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setuplinewidth[(x)pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]}

and several values for (x) in

\startinteractionmenu[myMenu]
 \placecontent[
    criterium=all,
    alternative=b,
%    style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},

style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setuplinewidth[150pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},
    interaction=all,
    before={\blank[small]\startnarrower[left,right]},
    after={\stopnarrower\blank[medium]}]
\stopinteractionmenu

but that generates a compile error. Grrr...

Best,
