Well Kat, looks like you will have a great time. We just got back from Kauai and Oahu little while ago and can confirm, from what we saw while there, these are great suggestions.

Would add, don't know how nimble your mom is, so if you are planning a Na Pali boat tour, the tours out of the north tend to be more snorkel oriented requiring a degree of mobility. The sunset / dinner cruises are out of the south.

I would add IF you have a car, and if you are in the south of Kauai, and if you like artisan shops (pottery, art, jewelry etc), check out the small town Hanapepe. If you are a Disney freak, Hanapepe is the inspiration for some of the art in Lilo and Stitch. Fri night is art night. http://www.hanapepe.org/art-night. And.. for a coffee and or ice cream head down the road just a bit to Kauai Coffee. Get the Affogato.

Here's a pic of a Bill Collins carving from Havaiki Tribal Arts which fit neither in our carry-on nor the wallet.

and here's pic from the fore-mentioned House Without a Key sunset show. Great cocktails there.
