Unfortunately I'm German so I can't recommend good translations, but it should definitely be possible to read Goethe in German and English simultaneously. Look for Dual-Language Editions with side-by-side views of German and English texts.
Definitely worth it to freshen up your memory. I hope you find some time to do it. Although I kind of disagree with the view that Goethes thoughts are "more important" than Nietzsches'. Both sometimes contain astonishing levels of obviousness (used here with negative connotation) and both have works which are hyped due to their names.
