There is no checkmate after 1 Qe3. Black just takes the knight on d5.

What would you play as black after Qe3? Qe8 is coming and if you defend with Nf6, Qxb6 is winning

That’s OK. After Qe3 black cannot prevent Qxb6 on the next move

White has a mad rook: Ra2 is a draw

When black plays Qh4 it will be a draw after Nxf8 ‘cos the black queen keeps giving check.
So after Qh4, Qxf7, Rxf7, white plays Ra8 and it is checkmate in two.

Everything is hanging!
I would blitz e3 and only then see I will end up getting two rooks for the queen. Preparing e3 with Kh7 is the way to go!
