Is 1. Ng6+ just as good and quicker?

1. Ng6+ hxg6, 2. Rh3#

unfortunately, you are missing 2.Rh3+ Qh5!! preventing checkmate for one more move.

i dont think so, if it was rxe4 dxe4 ng6+ then yes.

But 1.ng6+ the pawn on d5 is still blocking the queens path.

Right; 1. Ng6+ keeps the Queen obstructed along the fifth rank.

whoops, thought the d5 pawn wasnt there.
