Regarding b6, I didn't analyze this problem before I posted it. I got it from Edward Winter's Kings, Commoners and Knaves, page 42. Maybe it does matter…

Nope, it doesn't matter to the puzzle in the sense that Qd6 is still the key move, but it does add another variation.

1. Qd6 b5 2. Qa6#

Believe it or not, I found the answer from the first result returned in a google of "chess composer 1.Qd6": http://main.uschess.org/content/view/24/78 (By the way, their Max Euwe puzzle doesn't have the black pawn on b6. Not that it matters to the puzzle.) Okay I totally cheated on the bonus question.
