Answer

Your expression is ok. There is another expression 有什么需要我帮你带回来的吗？

Answer

You may say " 需要我带点什么东西给你吗？“

Answer

"Is there anything I can bring for you?"比较精确和地道的翻译可以是：“有什么我可以带给你的吗？”或：“我可以带些什么给你吗？”或：“要我带些什么给你吗？”当然，语气助词“吗”可有可无。

Answer

It would be better to speak like this:
要我给你带点什么东西回来吗？
/要我给你捎点东西回来吗（捎：顺便带 take along sth. to or for sb.; bring to sb.）
