5. shrink the layer until it fits well inside of the first layer.

Though I did manage to work out more or less the method you've described
- For #1, why not use the pencil tool output directly? Use the smoothing parameter, and/or make all nodes smooth and use Path->Simplify until the shape doesn't look jerky any more. Then do some node editing if necessary.
- For #2, instead of scaling, use Path->Inset and Path->Outset. Always keeps a defined distance to the original, instead of plain scaling from the center, thus no need to manually correct that later. Or even better: Use Path->Linked Offset so you can even continue to edit the original line.
