Yes, please make those changes. I see for おとと Daijirin has "「おとうと」の転".

  Comments:
Added sense. It's in all the kokugos but not the JEs.
おとと isn't irregular, it's archaic (as is おと). I don't think おとと and おと belong here. They have slightly different definitions. Can I make new entries for them?
I don't really consider sense 1 humble.

Adding little brother and kid brother would allow for better reverse searching.
