Use of 'one' and 'other' +more questions

Question

Hello! I have a few questions to ask.

1. The thing is there are two levels from which you can see Toronto in the CN Tower. The one level has windows, so I wasn't scared at all. But the other which is just below the latter has no windows, only bars.

Is the use of 'one' correct in the second sentence?

2. Frankly speaking, I simply didn't have enough courage to climb up on those bars - even if my position had been such that my back would have been facing the city.

Is the use of the imperative mood ok here?

3. I was going to be taking classes at an English school for two weeks and then spending the remainder of the time with my Dad.

Is this sentence ok?

Thanks a lot for your help!

2. Frankly speaking, I simply didn't have enough courage to climb up on those bars - even if my position had been such that my back would have been facing the city.

Is the use of the imperative mood ok here? Yes, or you could just say "even if... my back would have faced the city."

3. I was going to be taking classes at an English school for two weeks and then spending the remainder of the time with my Dad.

Is this sentence ok? Maybe. Your are describing what you thought you were going to be doing, from the perspective of the beginning of that time period. (But that wasn't what ended up happening.) You could also have said "I was going to be taking classese... for two weeks and then spend the remainder..."

Thanks a lot for your help!
