Two point regarding Austria Prussia 1866.

I have no firm idea of an alternative history scenario, but i would like to look at some interesting alternatives for the Austro-Prussian war - 1866, with anyone interested.
Point A) If the Italians accept the Austrian offer of Venetia in return for neutrality, brokered by Napoleon III. What happens then, does prussia back away from war with Austria. Does Austria win.
Point B) If Austria gains Italian neutrality, and thereby is able to demobilise on the Italian frontier. Bismarck now has no excuse for accusing Austria of insincerity in the, Austro-Prussian disarmament talks brokered by Bavaria. What happens then, is it possible that Bavaria can succeed in it's aim of instituting federal reform. Is it possible that Austria and Prussia are forced to negotiate seriously, a federal german state. What would it look like and what role does Austria play.
 
Austrian victory at Sadowa. Austrian commander attack, decimates first army before second can arrive. Defeats Prussians and ends Prussian involvement in German unity.

If Prussian involvement and/or leadership of German unity is removed or at least curtailed, will there be a united, federalized German state in this case? What would an Austrian Germany look like? Would it be stable and viable?
 
Yes thats what i want to look at.

suppose Bismarck doesn't get his Austrian war, - suppose he dies - that Bavaria is able to pursue it's ideas for federal reform, maybe we get 3 german power blocks.
Austria, Prussia and a Federal alliance of the smaller states led by Hannover and Bavaria.

What if this Federal alliance leads german nationalistic feelings, and is able to be arbiter between Prussia and Austria.

And also is able to rally sentiment against french aggression.
