You should get a structural engineer to approve this, not some random internet users.

I would not notch that. Get a smaller door or whatever that's going in the middle

Carry the jack studs all the way up to the header.

Uhh, no.

No, that's not how this is done at all.

You absolutely, positively, can NOT just cut into the beam/rim joist/header, or whatever it is you've drawn in blue on top of the studs.

If you remove studs, you need to replace them with a header that redirects the load they were once carrying to the new jack studs that are farther away. Those jack studs are then stabilized by King studs right beside them.

The size of the header required is, as u/rpapafox points out, something a structural engineer would determine.

This is clearly not a job you should be attempting. Hire a contractor and get a permit.

is the framing supposed to be floating in the air separate from the base and wall?

These pics are just allowing people to make a guess on this matter. Pictures of the actual house from outside inside, what is above this door second floor or roof structure. Even with this said no the drawing is NO GOOD. Pictures of the ACTUAL construction of the house are needed
