This is certainly a novel idea. However, I must ask you to clarify what you mean by "jumping over a friendly Pawn in its starting position."
Does this mean jumping over the Pawn like a Checker would an enemy Cherker (land on square immediately on the other side of a checker)? Or does this mean something else? How does this change if the condition that the Pawn must be on its starting square is removed?
In the second house rule about the special move for the Knight, is this bound to the same restrictions as the special moves for the other pieces? If so, then the Knight would never be able to jump horizontally, as it starts behind all the Pawns.
Also, if a Pawn jumps over another friendly piece on its first move, how does that affect en passant captures?
