I would still use the original.  This seems to be an exceptional case.  
Another thing that some mailers do (Eudora Pro, Mac OS Mail) is they 
add a "redirected" string to the From address, such as:

From: "Original Sender" (redirected by "New Sender")

Or...

From: "Original Sender" (by way of "New Sender")
X-Redirected: (date) (sender)

Yes, and if you add the redirect notice in the "From:", the original 
sender will know that the message that bounced was the redirected one.

No.  451 indicates that it is a transient error, not a permanent one.  
This means you may try again later.
