If you were going to move the bishop I'd expect Bd2 supporting a b4 break, however playing Nc3 is probably better as it allows:
1) The rook to get off the long diagonal and support a b4 push
2) The bishop placement to be delayed until it is clearer where it will be useful.
3) Supports the central light squares particularly d5
4) Temporarily blocks the long diagonal, freeing the bishop from it's defence of b2.
b3,Bb3 can't be played as 7b3 is going to be met by the knight on f6 moving with the loss of the exchange.
If you could play both moves at once it still looks a bit ugly since:
a) The bishop temporarily hangs on b2
b) your pawn structure is now looking rigid
c) You are making weak squares on a3, and c3
d) b3 is slow if you are wanting a queenside break. (Which is what the whole pawn structure is suggesting for both white and black)

| 10 ..b6 I expected a6,b5 break here. Can you please explain what you mean? |
As with the comments above, black should also be aiming for a queenside break, he can't play b4 immediately so a6 is required first to support the b4 push. b6 has similar problems as your suggested 7b3, it is slow, makes the pawn structure brittle, and introduces some weaknesses

(Please ignore this game if it is in the wrong thread)
In my game (in case my opponent posts the analysis in this thread) The supporting move of f4 looked quite strong to me (providing double pawn support of his knight on g5 and preparing a pawn roller to the kingside). Also, once my knight landed on g4 a queen move to d1 looked very strong as well.
I think there might be winning chances to support the theory that his bishop sacrifice was actually bait to remove the defending kingside pawns. I did have a nice king retreat but it would be necessary to delay it to avoid breaking the connected 8th rank rooks.

Winning chances for white? I don't think so. After white's 12th move, black's king has two knights, a bishop, a queen and a rook around to defend it. White's `attack' consists of a queen and a knight. There's no way that can succeed.
