I have seen similar posts and read the documentation. But as to my original questions -- can I build a sid based version on a jessie box?
Basically yes, our daily ISOs (http://daily.grml.org/) are also generated on a Debian/jessie system. Though sid AKA unstable might be broken from time to time (that's the nature of it and why it's called unstable) and you should be familiar with unstable to work with it. I'd recommend usage of stable or testing if possible.
Also, can you fix the linux-source-4.1 package and explain to me how to install the linux-headers package which will not install?
I've no idea what's your problem with linux-source-4.1 and the linux-headers package. :) Please cite the exact error message as a starting point.
When I install the linux-source-4.1 package using your repository, I get a tar.xz file and when I try to unpack it, I get the message file format unrecognized. This would lead to the conclusion that the package is broken.
