Any thoughts on generating a BIP39 mnemonic sentence with for example the Ian Coleman tool (in the offline laptop ofcourse)? So if in the future I want to use another wallet I could just import that phrase? Or I should just stick with the "Electrum mnemonic sentence" and the Electrum wallet? And in the future if I want to change wallet I would just transfer all the funds I guess.
In the developers' notes, Electrum's seed is better than BIP39's (reference: electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/seedphrase)

The only disadvantage is you wont be able to restore the seed phrase to other wallets that doesn't support Electrum seed.
That's a minor issue since you can always export the private keys of the addresses with balance
or the master private key (through the console, most wallets can import this) if needed.

.HUGE.

Is it a good idea to add an extra word to the seedphrase? Like a really easy word that I won't forget, so someone that came across my seed (and knows what those words are) wouldn't be able to just open his phone and steal my funds right away.
It is a good idea to add an extra word, phrase, or string for additional security, but I wouldn't make it a "really easy word". If someone performs a simply dictionary attack, then they could brute force it in a matter of seconds. At the very least I would choose a few words, and add some additional numbers or symbols to increase the entropy. As with all passwords, ideally you would want to use a completely random string, something along the lines of ["N8&#L9@~.c+\yp, but I also realize most people don't do that. Backing it up on paper separately from your seed phrase is a must.
