I understand the alternatives to mean the same things as the originals.

The originals are shorter and (are) more likely to be used. However there are sentences where it makes sense to use phrasing closer to the alternatives.

"I will help my son do his homework and go to bed." Does this mean that I will go to bed, or that I will help my son go to bed? The sentence is not clear.

This sentence is clear: "I will help my son do his homework and I will go to bed."

This sentence is also clear: "I will my son to do his homework and to go to bed."
