“Deutschland” book from Narita Airport
Page 6: 1) Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Hilfe. Why does Ihr have an -e ending?
2) Einen schönen Tag. Do ein and schoen both follow the same endings patterns?
Page 7: 1) Wie läufts? In what situations can this be used?
2) Tagchen! Is this appropriate to use with Siezen people?
Page 8: 1) Kann ich Ihnen helfen? Is it Ihnen because helfen is a dative verb?
2) Jawohl. What situations call for jawohl?
3) Schreiben Sie es bitte auf. How to distinguish between auf and hier? When is auf used?
Page 9: 1) Darf ich Sie etwas fragen? Why is Sie used and not Ihnen?
Page 12: 1) Lasst uns etwas trinken! Is there another way to say this?
2) Ich ruf dich an. My book said that this means I will call you, but it doesn't use future tense construction. Is it both present and future? Or is it past?

Page 6:
1) Ok so Ihre has an -e ending because Hilfe is feminine
2) in this case yes they do have the same endings (accusative, masculine)
Page 7:
1)It can be used if you're saying like hey whats up, hows it going, what are you doing that kind of thing
2)I'm not familiar with the Siezen people
Page 8:
1)yes it is there are quite a few dative verbs in German.
2)if you need to say YES OF COURSE
3)auf if you're writing on something, hier if you're pointing to something
Page 9:
1)because it's accusative case
Page 12:
1)Not that I know of
2)YES this means I will call you, technically you could say ich werde dich anrufen if you had to use future tense.
Sorry about all of the incomplete sentences, but I'm rushing
Viel Glück!

Well, I wouldn't call it inappropriate but it sounds pretty goofy to me.

Several, actually. The ones that come to mind are:
Gehen wir etwas trinken!
Wollen wir noch ausgehen?
Hat jemand Lust auf ein Bier?
Gehen wir einen heben! (colloquial)
Gehen wir noch in die Kneipe?
