Grammar

You want to/ you should

1. You might want to check if first.
2. There's something you want to see.

I'd like to know in #1, if I can replace "want to" with "have to."
I'd also like to know in #2, if I can replace "want to" with "should."
Thank you in advance for your help.

1. It's more gentle than "have to". It's a polite invitation. He is suggesting that it would be a good idea to check it (not "if") first.

2. I think you mean - "will want to see". I know your tastes. I believe you will like this and want to see it. You could say "should" in this context too, though "should" says nothing about the other's preferences.

Kind regards, Michael
