In your second diagram, after 4...Bc5 5 Be3 Nf6, instead of 6 Qd3, 6 Nxc6 wins a piece.

Ah... yes. Thank you! Other wise, did you like it?
Nimzowitsch in My System goes over the ...d5?! line in the Scotch:
Most of those are unrealalistic. 3...d5 is bad It looks good but it isnt.
The lines you suggested are terrible for black. the actual lines are:
And there are many other lines. I don't want to go into details, because there are many things to do for both black and white. Anyhow, never take twice on d4, and never play d6, as it just fails to dxe5 dxe5 and Qxd8+.

Let me tell you a very funny story, kasparov used to play this opening.
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 ... by declining 2.f4, White reveals his missing manhood.
2. ... Nc6
3. d4 ed
4. c3!! ... White's second move was a ruse; his manhood is there after all.
5. ... dc
6. Nxc3
The "Scotch Game" is for neutered GM's.

Kasparov played the Scotch as White, and he sure as hell never played 3...d5.
On who did they swear revenge?
