Since I have levels in Bard, can I copy (for example) mass cure wounds (a level 5 bard spell that isn't also a wizard spell) from a bard scroll into my spell book?
Could I do this idea with 3 levels in Cleric instead of in Bard?

\$\begingroup\$ The second question you had (about using this to cast higher-level class spells than you normally can) is already asked & answered in Can a multiclass Wizard use any Wizard spell?, so I edited it out of the post. \$\endgroup\$– SevenSidedDieCommented Jun 17, 2017 at 17:43

No; you can only copy wizard spells into your spellbook
The "Your Spellbook" sidebar states the following about copying spells into your spellbook (emphasis mine):
When you find a wizard spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a spell level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.
This passage disallows copying spells outside those available to a wizard into the spellbook, regardless of what other classes you've taken levels in.

No. The wizard spell book is an item made to contain only wizard spells, and due to the fact that mass cure wounds is not, indeed, a wizard spell, it couldn't reasonably be copied into a wizard spellbook. The same could be said for any other non-wizard spell.

Actually you could copy mass cure wounds because as a wizard / bard all the spells YOU know become both wizard and bard spells to YOU.

2\$\begingroup\$ Especially since a level 14 Wizard / level 3 Bard cannot know mass cure wounds since they don't have the Bard level for it. \$\endgroup\$– ErikCommented Dec 14, 2020 at 6:44

1\$\begingroup\$ (...Though that may be hard to do, since I'm pretty sure the rules don't say anything of the sort. In fact, the multiclass spellcasting rules say exactly the opposite: "You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. [...] Each spell you know and prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell.") \$\endgroup\$– V2BlastCommented Dec 14, 2020 at 10:11
