Basically ”してあげる” means do for someone. For example: ご飯を食べる。→友達が食べられない刺身を(私が)食べてあげる。 説明を聞く。→日本に旅行してる時に、友達は日本語が分からないので(私が)聞いてあげる。 料理を作る。→友達に料理を作ってあげる。 I think "映画を見てあげる" is not able to use.(the grammar is correct)

Regarding to (1): A possible context: When your friend shows you a movie, for an amatuer film festival, that he/she directs for the first time. You might say "(私が)この映画を見てあげる"
