a)

-----H----I---H---H--H ----------------------------H--NH2-H---H---H
------I----I----I---I----I ------------------------ ------I----I--- -I---I----I
H - C - C - C - C - C - H ----+ NH3 ==> H - C - C - C - C - C - H + NH4I
------I----I----I----I----I ------------------------------I----I----I---I-----I
-----H--H---H----H---H ---------------------------H--H---H----H---H

CH3CH(I)CH2CH2CH3+2NH3-> CH3CH(NH2)CH2CH2CH3 + NH4I
2-iodopentane + ammonia ==> pentylamine + ammonium iodide

b)

-----H--NH2-H---H---H
------I----I--- -I---I----I
H - C - C - C - C - C - H
------I----I----I---I-----I
-----H--H---H----H---H

Is this correct?

You didn't indicate where the NH2 group is attached; i.e., which carbon.
