Could this product help with scale?

I dont think so - its supposed to work with Fungus gnat larvae in the growing medium and on thrips on the plants. My package arrived with no live nematodes or at least we could not detect any even under the microscope.

Are they eggs or adult worms that are incapsulated in those small white balls? How can I tell if they have escaped from there and entered the soil?

They are little white balls of goodness that are hungry for fungus gnat larvae. They are in a paper bag and they do not turn into worms. I opened a couple of the packs to mix in with the dirt. They do their thing and pass away

The instructions indicate one pouch is designed for a 5 gallon pot. I wanted to use them on smaller pots. Is this okay?

its okay, you can't really overdose, but if you want to safe money , just open the pouch and put the amount you want!

Can I dissolve in water then pour into the ground around plant?

It stands within reason that if these things devolve quickly that you can use it in that way. Typical nematodes are applied by mixing the live nematode packet into agitated water, then water the plant with said wormy water.
