When they say that a True Alpha can ascend by force of will alone", I feel like that has nothing to do with his character. It meant his force of will to be a leader. So technically he could be a good or bad person it doesn't really matter, he became an Alpha by will. He just happens to not want to kill because he is a good person. And DManCo, Derek gave up his spark to heal Cora, but it says nowhere in any of the cannon that the spark would go to anyone else. It didn't go off into the air for a Beta to claim, it was used up to heal Cora. So his Alpha spark was no more, so it is impossible that Scott would become an Alpha this way. The only known way to "take someones alpha spark" so to speak, is to kill them. And we can speculate something else happens with the Hail family as it was never was stated how Derek's sister became Alpha after their mother died, but that's all we can do is speculate until clarified.
