 Hi, do both of these sound right?

 

If you kicked me, I would kick you back.

If you kick me, I will kick you back.

 

I'm also confused by this sentence.

 

I already told Mark that when he arrived, we would go out for dinner.

 

What conditional is that?

.
Both of your 'kick' sentences are fine.  The first is Conditional II and the second is Conditional I.

Your third sentence is not conditional; it is reported speech.
