The NEQ6 and that newt will be fine together. Just keep it simple to start with, and that means using something like the 60mm ZWO guide scope and a ZWO guide camera ( a cheap one is fine for guiding). It can mount on a rail on top of your scope, or just use the mount hole on top of the newt ring. Use PHD2 or Metaguide, both are simple but i prefer Metaguide because it works better imho with the video cameras like the ASI ones. The cable from the guide camera to the ST4 port on the mount is supplied with all the ASI cameras. The other usb cable plugs in your laptop. You mount alignment does not need to be perfect if your guiding. I usually just do a single star alignment near my imaging target using the hand controller then turn on my wifi Nexus to drive the mount via Sky Safari on my tablet. BYEOS is great and easy to use, but leave dithering settings alone for now until you get familiar with guiding. Don't worry about PEC etc, it is not necessary if guiding. Btw at tuis time of year a dew heater strap will be needed for the guide camera, a 2" one is fine for a little guidescope. Have fun.
Btw, if you go down the path of guiding off the main scope (OAG) you will have different required configurations for both your scopes but with a dedicated guidescope it can easiky be moved between scopes without worrying about spacers, etc.
