 ❝ An extra two seats in the senate and two seats in the house of representatives shall be added to represent the citizens in any current and future territories that have not yet granted statehood. ❞  No issues here, though you don't define how these four new congresspeople will be elected. Will one be elected by some of the territories, one by the rest?

 ❝ Shall the candidate with most electoral college votes is not the candidate with the highest number of popular votes, the Congress will bear the responsibility of choosing the candidate to be the president on a case-by-case basis. ❞  The fuck? You're taking a system that is explicitly undemocratic (allowing candidates who don't win the popular vote to be elected) and making it many times more undemocratic. Are you just that authoritarian that you would allow 0.000001% of the population determine our president? Do you want to go back to 1791? Admittedly, it's much more democratic than how the 2000 election was decided, but it's still mind-boggling that someone in the 21st century would believe in something that most of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention (1787) thought was too tyrannical. Unless, of course, you're batshit insane.

 ❝ Independent commissions appointed by the executive branch of each state and confirmed by the state congress should be used to determine the electoral districts used in all state and federal elections. ❞  Your heart is in the right place, definitely, but this really wouldn't change much. It would just transfer the ability to gerrymander from the legislature to the executive.
