Now we have the sensible sliding scale of SDLT, where does the 3% go? Do you pay a flat rate of 3% on the whole value, as an additional fee to the sliding scale amount?

So, go oop North and fill yer boots.
SDLT rates and thresholds for residential properties
SDLT is charged at increasing rates for each portion of the purchase price.
Use HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) SDLT calculator to work out how much you’ll pay.
Property purchase price SDLT rate from 4 December 2014
Up to £125,000 Zero
The next £125,000 (the portion from £125,001 to £250,000) 2%
The next £675,000 (the portion from £250,001 to £925,000) 5%
The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) 10%
The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million) 12%

You can spot a loophole and exploit it, like some scheme users on this forum, but you will eventually end up paying twice the amount once HMRC sniff you out.

SDLT is still payable if your company buys the property.
The only thing I can suggest is that you buy (actually complete on) the second property prior to April.

1-man Ltds are already under scrutiny so using them for further avoidance doesn't seem terribly good however they probably wouldn't do anything about it until there was evidence it was becoming popular by which time you'd have yours.

It would not take long for such companies to be target for some special tax treatment, like say higher corp tax or CGT in order to "provide affordable homes to first time buyers".

if planning to let it it depends on a lot of factors. But probably not.
