What is the ruling on one who cannot determine whether his statement: "I swore not to convert again for anyone" was an انشاء (an act of creating a new oath) or an إخبار (an act of informing about a past oath)? And does a new divorce occur by saying: "I swore" while imagining the form of انشاء, or upon silence thereafter, or upon repeating it in thought or speech due to worry?

What you are suffering from is the disease of obsessive doubts (waswasa). What you uttered is neither an oath nor a divorce, and doubt is not given any consideration. You must stop this matter and its imaginations, direct your thoughts towards what is beneficial, and seek refuge in Allah from these obsessive doubts.
