Are there other ways to fade into the next scene with a jump actor that use those times? is there a way to automatically grab those times?
You could also just use one of the different Jump actors (for example Jump By Name) and set your fade times in the Jump actor. I usually don't use the Scene fade times and use jump actors instead. This might be a lot of work depending on whether you've already got a bunch of cues programmed.
Generally, I use a Background actor renamed to "#CUES" and put stuff like the Jump Macro you've built in there. Then I put that Background in the same place in every Scene (generally top right) so that I know where it is in any given Scene and, since the Background actor has been renamed to "#CUES", I can use the hashtag list to jump to it easily if I need to find and edit it.
I tend to make a template Scene with the stuff I need most often and just copy-paste that Scene when I need to create a new Scene, then modify the copy. It'll already have whatever Jump actor I'm using with a default timing of 3 seconds in it, so that I don't need to manually set that every time and only need to change that number if I want a different fade time for a specific Scene.
