Grammar

I have a quesion bothering me. Please help me.

Hi, everybody. I am Changwon Choi living in Korea (S). I'm wondering if there is anyone who can solve my grammar problem. I made some sentences as follows, but am not sure the red sentences are correct. Probably they sound awkward to native English speakers. If so, are the bracketed sentences alternatives to the red ones?

Who to go there on behalf of me is important to me. (?)

(Who should go there on behalf of me is important to me.)

What to come in this book case doesn't matter at all. (?)

(What should come in this book case doesn't matter at all.)

Whose mom to take care of all the kids was a hot issue. (?)

(Whose mom should take care of all the kids was a hot issue.)

What book to come in this book case doesn't matter at all. (?)

(What book should come in this book case doesn't matter at all.)

Whose book to borrow is important to me. (?)

(Whose book we should borrow is important to me.)

Which book to borrow is important to me. (?)

(Which book we should borrow is important to me.)
