We have had the same problem with Netflix & Prime Videos , often looking for 30mins or more and not finding anything we both want to watch. I also do not like the menu structure, and finding things, so end up on search a lot , which your mum may find difficult.
My Father-in-law had the same issue with sound and the way that was resolved was with a pair of RF Sennheiser something like these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-II-8EU-Wireless-Headphones-Black/dp/B07XTVJQDD/ref=sr_1_21?dchild=1&qid=1634548227&refinements=p_89:Sennheiser&s=electronics&sr=1-21
But when he purchased around 2000ish , much cheaper, and with rechargeable batteries via the stand , so the only issue would be if she does not put them back on the stand, then they would go flat and not work
They also had separate headphone volume and TV speaker volume, on an old CRT model , so he could have as loud as he wanted and his wife could listen at her level in the room
Worked really well for years , until his death in 07
Maybe worth checking the TV you are thinking of has a headphone volume setting, if you go this route
You may find investing in the headphones rather than Netflix, although you can cancel at anytime, its not a year contract.
The problem with running a cable, would be a trip hazard
