(The first surprise. He has answered d4 with 1..f5 in all previous games, and plays 1.f4 as White. So all my preparation is wasted).

Unnecessary. I have already decided against 11.Bh6 because of 11..Nxe4, 12.fe Qh4+ and 13.Qxh6
12.0-0
It seems better than O-O-O at this point

hoping to stir things up on the quuen's side while the black bishop is on the sidelines at g7

Another surprise.Did he plan the following sacrifice, or did he just not see Bxa6 after c5?

And now I have a rook for 3 pawns, and am not sure what I should be doing.Fortunately, he doesn't know either.

I don't like my Q & K on the same diagonal when his bishop can get there too.
