I think d5 is the best move, and after Bxd5, Nf6

5. .. d5 6.Bxd5 Nf6? 7.Bxf7+ Ke7 (7. .. Kxf7 8.Qxd8 ) 8.Ba3+ c5 9.Bxc5+ wins at least the Black Queen.

It is a bit too early to give a definite answer , but I think White surely has something going. If he can castle soon then he is likely to be on top. So yes , I think it might be worth the pawn sacs.

7. Bxf7+, Kxf7; 8. Qxd8, Bb4+; 9. Qd2, Bxd2 (off queens and material up, black is better)

Yes you are absolutely right . I missed 9. .. Bb4+! This will make 7.Bxf7+ a bad move so my line doesn't suffice. So now we have 5. .. d5 6.Bxd5 Nf6 and have to start looking from here.
