The can both mean the same thing, but ようとする can also mean 'to try to a'. V (dict form)ところ strictly refers to a point in time just before the action starts.

there's many examples on this page with 所 instead of ところ, the kanji 所 refers to the physical place but most grammar points using ところ refers to time, so the kanji can make the sentences confusing by changing the meaning.

Can I suggest changing the "About to start A" from point 1 to "About to A" or just "About to..." ?
This because taking as an example this sentence:

僕は今出かけるところです。 I'm just about to go out now.
it's easier to think "About to go out" rather than "About to start to go out"

It's showing a simple cause and effect relationship, similar to "So about A, here's what happened: B"
