1... Nxb2 2. Kxb2 Qc3+ 3. Kb1 (if 3. Kc1 Qa1#) a4 (threatning 4..a3 and 5..Qb2#) 4. Rc1 (to allow its knight to come on d1 and to prevent the mate on b2) but now black wins the quality by playing 4. Qxd2. Am I close enough?

Yes,
3 ..a4! is the right move.
4Rc1 Qd2 -+ so instead White played 4Ne2 so the line goes
1..Nb2 2 Kb2 Qc3+ 3 Kb1 a4 4Ne2 Be2 5Re2 a3 6 Kc1 and now 6..Qb2+ 7 Kd2 Qc3+ 8 Kc1 is a draw !
Best play on each side leads to an equal position ( draw by perpetual )
