2 days would be ideal fro Agra. Being home to 3 UNESCO world heritage sites, Agra has lots to offer. Day 1 can be utilised for Agra Fort, Eitmad-ud-Daulah (the tomb of of Ghiasuudin Baig, father of Nur Jahan), Sikandra (tomb of Akbar).

Day 2 for Fatehpur Sikri and Taj.Last but not the least - shopping.

Hi !
The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort are the main attractions. In addition Sikandara is recommended. If you have time, visit Fatehypur Sikri.
Stay at Hotel Taj Plaza, which is very close to The Taj Mahal and a good and reasonable hotel. You can visit The Taj, twice from here, if you wish.
Enjoy Your trip.

You already have reply to your query.
I have none to add.
Spend morning half for Taz, post lunch go to Fort and continue with light andsound show- a good show.
Second day you do like etmadulaa, Sikandra., shopping specially leather articles. Donot shop for clothings.
3rd. morning off to Fatehpur Sikri.
Enjoy.
