WOW...you move, put the litter box far away....then, have a dog come over, and then move the litter box again, and then again...and you wonder why your kitty is peeing in the bed?
If you stop and think about what is going on, from a cat's perspective...it becomes more clear. He is simply confused. The problem is more yours than his. You will need to retrain him. Keep him confined to the basement for a majority of the time, until he gets REALLY comfortable with his box being there. Work on removing all the smells/evidence you can from your room.....then, let him up again.
Shoving his nose in it? Yelling at him? Oh, how sad. These are tactics that simply won't work, and really only make the problem worse. Please don't do these things to your kitty...he just doesn't understand!
It would be so sad to rehome this kitty. I think if you work on it, from his perspective, it will work out. Please keep trying!!
