1) "ring him" and "ring him up" both mean to telephone him. The second arguably has a slightly more informal feel, and may have a faintly different nuance in some contexts. "No improvement" is reasonable, I suppose, while noting that (A) is not incorrect. "tomorrow afternoon" would be usual there.

2) It is impossible to say whether "would be" or "were" (or indeed "will be") is appropriate
