Please correct my sentences!

Hi,
are the following sentences correct? I wonder if I've used correct tenses.

1) Q:What are you doing/going to do on Monday?
A:Haven't decided yet. Perhaps I'll go to the cinema.
Q: What do they show on that day?
(is especially this tense correct?)
A: Harry Potter,I think.

2) The goverment will be imposing/is going to impose a new tax on cigarettes. (is the use of "going to" same as "will be -ing"?)

3) If they hadn't been wearing/worn helmets,they wouldn't have survived.

4) Don't think I haven't noticed that you (have) turned down the offer! (could we omit the "have"?)

5) Some people get into thinking that they are flawless,but they are not.

6) I am obliged to tell you that you have been selected for the role.

Thank you so much in advance!
