How to continue this game and how to improve my positional play in games as such

How to continue the game?  Offer a draw.  Yes, you COULD sac your bishop for a pawn to open things up very slightly, but why?  You'd be down material and your remaining bishop would be bad.

1. e4 e5 2.nf3 f6 3. nxe5?! fxe5 4. Qh5+ g6 5. Qxe5 Qe7 6. Qxh8 Nf6 and 7.d3 d6 8. Bg5 9. Nbd7 Whites queen is trapped, next move black fianchettos the light square bishop and black queenside castles. d3, Bg5 are not suitable plans. No Bc4 is more solid.

Surprised

Just to be clear: I agree that 3. Bc4 and 3. d4 are good moves.

But after Nxe5, black cannot take the knight. Here is an idea to make it somewhat playable for black: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XM9CdS_SOU

 

Your move. I intend to follow up with Nd5 or h4-h5.

I concur. I have a prejudice against early sacrifices in the opening unless it's a blunder and f6 cannot be a blunder like in the e4 e5 f4 d5 fxe5? but f6 is a standard move not a blunder. Not the best opening but still played and there must be a reason why opening this way is found in so many openings. I checked the database and found that the majority of games were won with white. I would say 90%, and that says it all.
