The dead scallops being removed may help you out with your ammonia problem, it sounds like they were in the process of decaying. I didn't catch it in the other thread, but I'm assuming this is a mini cycle, I would just wait it out. If you don't want to do that, I would recommend a 25% water change, running some activated carbon, and don't feed the tank for a day or two.
If you have a protein skimmer, run it a little wet for a week or so.

Yes you can. I do not recommend it. I recommend you do nothing and let the ammonia will come down as bacteria is built up. you could add sand from an existing tank and that would help.
Finally, adding plant life will help everything.
