Shorter stem, wider bars should take away some of the twitchiness.  My IP-057 has 680mm bars and a 100mm stem and it doesn't feel twitchy to me.  I am seeing bars as wide as 800mm and 50mm stems on many of the brand name trail oriented bikes.

The bars I am using now are 700mm and my stem is 70mm. Thinking I may need to try the Offset seatpost as JohnnyNT suggested.

Had a little crash today and put a few scratches into my frame. They are cosmetic but not sure if I need to do anything to them?

Just a few scratches, nothing you can do but go ride some more.

Structurally, it's fine. Aesthetically, maybe try a black marker?

I figured that was the case but wanted to make sure.
