Nearly, just remember that with the pronominal verbs the reflexive pronoun must also match the subject, ie the reflexive pronoun must refer to the same person that the conjugation does.

(Tú) te sientas or (usted) se sienta but not a mixture.

Your sister enjoys herself in Seville. - se = herself, te = yourself.

No, you're close but as I said the reflexive pronoun needs to match the subject and so does the verb conjugation.

You have the right pronoun 'te' for the tú form but you've conjugated the verb to the usted form 'divierta'. As you probably know in the present tense the tú conjugation will generally end with an 's' so it should be 'te diviertas'.
