1. He refused to shake hands with their guests. He refused to sit and talk to them, either.
2. We can find a way that both of us can accept and feel comfortable.

1. He refused to shake hands with their guests. He refused to sit and talk to them either. (no comma before either)
2. We can find a way that both of us can feel comfortable. (deleted "accept" as unclear; accept what?)
2a. We can find a way that is mutually acceptable to both of us. (mutual = applies to both parties)

I would say they are basically correct. Unlike the other two commenters, I am OK with the word "either" used as a sentence adverb. However, I would say "... a way that [we] feel comfortable WITH".

The second sentence is correct but the first feels a little funny. I would remove the word either and rephrase it.
He refused to shake hands with their guests. He also refused to sit and talk to them. :) Hope it helps
