Magical Lineage and Heighten Spell Question

I searched around and couldn't find a definitive answer on this.
Magical Lineage and Heighten Spell

I have a Wizard with Magical Lineage (Fireball) and I am trying to decide where to prepare my spells. Lets say for example my INT is 20

If I heighten Fireball to 6th level. The Save DC increases and it can penetrate a lesser globe of invulnerabilty. As a 6th level spell the DC would be 10+6+5. Does Magical Lineage effect this? Do I prepare it in a 5th level slot? If I do, do I still get the raised spell DC of a 6th level slot?

Same example but I heighten the Fireball to 4th level. Do I prepare it in a fourth level slot or a third level slot? If I prepare it in a 3rd level spot, does it still gain the benefit of being heightened? (increased Save DC and punctures globe)

Yes to both scenarios. It's not the spell slot that matters, it's the metamagic feat that you are applying. You heighten it to 6th level and have Magical Lineage(Fireball), it takes a 5th level slot. You Heighten it to 4th level and have Magical Lineage(Fireball), it takes a 3rd level slot.
