My 21mo has trouble eating in one place. How can I guide her into healthy meal habits?

We've noticed that our 21mo has trouble staying in the same place for the duration of her meal. I know it's developmentally appropriate for her to want to get up and move around every few minutes. We've also really struggled with solids (she just started eating more than a couple of spoonfuls).
Should we let her eat her meals in different places?

My 2yo loves taking their clothes off and has started using unkind words.

About 1 month ago, she started to take off her clothes and diapers all of a sudden. She would sometimes announce "ugh, hot" and then just take off everything she has on. She has also started to say really strong words, like "hate", "stupid", "ew, gross", "bad baby". I tried to model other choices of words for her and tell her that "hate" for example is not a nice word - but does she understand? How do we teach her?
