I don't think Jack will come today, ether does Amy.

Hello

This sentence, ' I don't think Jack will come today, either does Amy.' is not correct.
So, when I correct it like ' I don't think Jack will come today, neither(nor) does Amy', I understand it means I don't think Jack will come today, and Amy think so, too.
But, When I correct it like, ' I don't think Jack will come today, nor will Amy', I think it means I think Jack and Amy both will not come today.
Which one is right understanding? Or can I use both according to the context?

Thanks in advance.

Neither Jack nor Amy will come today.

I don't think that either Jack or Amy will come today.

Neither I nor Amy think Jack will come today.
