To use "either" and "two" is redundant. "Either" means one or the other.

Exactly. I wrote "Does he know either girl" and it was marked incorrect, but it should have been accepted, IMO.

Either "garotas" or "meninas" would mean roughly the same in this context. Is there a reason you think "meninas" would be more appropriate?

Technically, 'menina' would refer to a child and 'garota' to an adolescent, but that distinction isn't really used any more (at least in Brazil). I'm not sure, but I think 'menina' is the more polite form in Portugal.
