Greetings and obfuscations. 
Unlike the other posts I will attempt to answer your question at least in part. On the subject of literary references. The sequence you give is mentioned briefly on page 13 of ‘The Oxford Companion to Chess’ 1996 addition stating that it was line played in the 1930 by Parisian amateur Charles Amar. The late Hugh Myers in Volume 5 Number 1 (issue number 39, 1988) of ‘The Myers Openings Bulletin’ gives a detail review of ‘Irregular Openings for the 1990’s’ by Tim Harding in which he challenges Harding’s assertion that Amar was a possible fictitious construct by Tartakower. The 3rd Volume, number 12 issue 36 of the Myers Opening Bulletin 1985 page 20 has some analysis provided by noted Birds Opening specialist Bill Williams of the line (& move order) 1.f4 e5 2.Nh3 d5 3.g3 Bxh3 4.Bxh3 exf4 5.0-0
You can find the odd mention of it here and there but nothing at all definitive
If you want any specifics in regards of analysis please contact me directly

Yes, that would be in keeping with the suicidal nature of the opening.

Still, White is already down two pawns, surely throwing another one way won't make any difference.

The easiest way for Black to win is: 6. ... gxh2 7. Kxh2 dxe4.

Can I ask why? This looks really bad for White.
