I've had very similar problems, usually against a really tight neck hug. My advice would be to aim for the perfect Electric Underhooks positioning, obviously, but if you can't achieve it then take note of what your opponent is doing to prevent it and react accordingly.
If you're being hit with a serious neck hug (like at 0:56 of your video), rotate onto your left hip and attack the 50 sweep. Also keep an eye out here for opportunities for the Apollo and a transition to the heel hook.
At 2:07 of your video, your opponent is just giving you a free Dogfight. He's even sitting on the leg that he's going to need for base, so that would be a prime time to pop up and hit him with a Half and Half / Knee Tap sweep.
Since I started incorporating Dogfight transitions into my game about a year ago, it's really increased my ability to sweep from bottom half since my opponent can't just defend the Electric Chair non-stop.
Also, of course keep an eye out for opportunities for:
Stomp Transitions
Full Guard recovery
Back Takes (they don't have a whizzer in)
Mechanic Sweeps
COP Sweeps
Butterfly sweeps to counter his Twister Pass attempts
If you haven't seen it, there was a thread on here a while back about Lucas Leite's half guard wizardry. Here's the link to part 1:

Good luck!
