Did you settle down the deal?

[Silverobama]

Two women contacted me online recently and they asked if I knew some tutor who was a native speaker of English. I then sent Thomas’ info to them. A few days later, Thomas contacted me.

Thomas: Hi Silver. How are you doing?
Silver: Good, you?
Thomas: I’m fine, thanks. Thank you for recommending me to a parent.
Silver: You’re welcome. Did you settle down the deal?
Thomas: We’re meeting for the first time, this afternoon.
Silver: I actually gave your number to two mothers. You’re the only fitting teacher I can think of.

Are both my bold sentences natural and grammatical?​

I'd say:
Did you get the job?
I gave your number to two mothers. You're the only suitable teacher I can think of.

Silver: You’re welcome. Did you settle down the deal?
Thomas: We’re meeting for the first time no comma here this afternoon.
Silver: I actually gave your number to two mothers. You’re the only fitting teacher I can think of.

Are both my three bold sentences natural and grammatical?​

Note my corrections above. Your first bold sentence is unnatural. I'd say something like "Have you sorted something out with them?" or "Have you organised some classes?"
For your third sentence, I'd say "You're the only teacher I could think of who fits the criteria".

Much appreciated. You didn't mention the second sentence "I actually gave your number to two mothers", does it mean the sentence is natural? I think perhaps this one is natural "I actually gave your number to two mother". Since there are not the same mother but different mother so I need to keep it singular. Am I right?

Not a teacher

In my opinion, I think this works well in informal conversation or you can replace "your number" with "contact information".
"I actually gave your number(contact information) to two mothers."

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by this, but unlike in Chinese, where numbered nouns are sometimes not pluralized, in English, they always use the plural form when specifying a number greater than one.

---Since there are not the same mother but different mother so I need to keep it singular.---

I think I can find the same thing also in Korean and Japanese, I mean, not pluralizing numbered nouns : two tree, four teacher, ten building, etc.

Given that I took the time to correct the first and third bold sentences, do you really think I would have just not bothered with the second if I thought it needed correction?

I think perhaps this one is natural: "I actually gave your number to two mother". Since there they are not the same mother but different mothers, so I need to keep it singular. Am I right?

Absolutely not. "Mother" is a countable noun. As soon as there's more than one mother, you need a plural noun.
I have no idea what you mean by "Since they are not the same mother ...". Two people can't be the same person!

I realize this was not the question asked but feel I would be remiss if I didn't correct it. "Settle down" is an idiom and very similar in meaning to "calm down." It cannot be used in reference to a deal. You could, however, ask: did you settle the deal?

The main thing that OP wanted to ask Thomas is whether or not he was hired for the teaching job, isn't it? Wouldn't that be more straight to the point rather than asking whether he had sorted out things with the parent or had classes organized? A deal sounds to me like a commercial deal more than a teaching arrangement.

"To settle down" could also mean to get married and start a family. It is intransitive, so does not go with an object (deal).
