Well, yes. But not to the point that they need to eliminate them.

If they really make it a play from scrimmage, that will deprive the receiving team of the right to a shot at the ball in an open field play. The team awarded it could run or pass, or kick directly out of bounds. Would the timing be the same as for, say, a scrimmage play following a touchback?

Huh?

After a field goal, how about giving the receiving team the right to scrimmage at the same place they could've if the attempt had missed?

I think that after a FG, the scoring team should definitely be starting further back than after a TD, but I don't know how you'd work in K having a choice and R also having a choice.
