Answer 1

No improvement to this sentence is necessary. It makes perfect sense on its own and sounds right. "Either" always takes an "or" else the word wouldn't make sense, as it's meant to contrast binary options.

eg.
I'm either going to eat food or drink water.

Answer 2

Answer:

No improvement or correction is required.

The sentence is well constructed and the parallel construction between going to the movies or playing miniature golf is also well done, they use To- to, and the verbs in infinitive in order to do the parallel construction, they also use either to make you choose between one or the other, the sentence is perfectly understandable and well written.
