English Translation
There should be something for us to talk about.
Surely the verb ‘geben’ is in the wrong position. (?)
Yes, “für uns geben” would sound more natural.
But I don’t think noone would say that. I can imagine some people would.
What’s also strange is the “sollten” which is not directly expressed by the english sentence. I would use “können” there. Well, actually, “something to talk about” is not clear whether it is “can” or “should”.
Maybe avoid it altogether and say something a little closer to the original:
Es sollte dort etwas für uns zu besprechen geben.
I rarely see “über das”. Wouldn’t “darüber” be a more common and natural way of saying that?

In this sentence it should rather be “worüber”, because it is a relative clause.
It’s also the reason why “über das” works here.

Well, ‘there must be’ sounds a little more desperate than ‘there should be’ in this context but it doesn’t seem a bad translation even if ‘should’ would seem a more difect one.
