Yeah, I think just taking a couple classes will suffice. I'm not totally sold on the idea that an alternative transcript helps that much either.
If I were in admissions, I would view it as a good thing for a younger candidate, but for an older candidate (maybe w/ more than 4 years WE) I would think "Why are they bothering jumping through hoops, their WE and GMAT should show me if they have the ambition and the intellectual potential to handle the program."
No - they want you to take additional coursework - especially if your quant track record isnt too hot. I dont think it matters how old you are, getting A's to enhance your academic track record will always help a little. It might not seal the deal but it will win you some points.
Also, the schools I have been in touch with have not cared where the classes were taken as long as they were completed at an accredited university or college. I heard this from a top 15 school - maybe for the ultra elites yuo need to match the competitiveness of your undergrad.
