Are these sentences correct?

These are both sentences that native speakers (including me) might use, but to me they are not particularly elegant (especially the second).

In the second case I would prefer "What you are doing now is better".

The first sentence is slightly ambiguous, and without seeing the surrounding context I'm not sure if or how I might rephrase it. One possibility is "Your intended meaning is clearer in this sentence".

I would rephrase it this way "It's more clear now what you are trying.."
I prefer "more clear" than "clearer" and adding "now" as a separator to the rest of the sentence.

# 2 is a bit iffy!
