I think :

"Cuir tic i dtrí bhosca ar a mhéad" would work better. "Suas go trí bhosca" just sounds very like a direct translation from English!

As for the second part, it's very hard to translate without the exact context...

Inis dom=perfect
Déanaim dearmad (not sure if the "air" is necessary...?)
Taispeáin dom =fine
Cuimhním/Is cuimhin liom. "Is cuimhin liom" is more common, but it's more in the sense of looking back to the past, whereas "cuimhním" gives the sense of remembering/thinking about something on a continual basis. So it's up to you what to pick!

Cuir san áireamh mé = means "include me" as opposed to "involve" me, it almost gives the sense of "don't leave me out!" Unfortunately I can't think of any better alternative at the moment, anyone have any suggestions?
