Am I right to think that to improvise also needs some songwriting skills (which I don't have I think)? Because I might add something to a song that I am playing and yet I may not be satisfied with the result.

I wouldn't say song writing skills are needed, but I would say a certain level of music theory is needed to be able to know what key you're playing in and what the possibilities are. I think with improvisation, occasionally you may not be happy with the results, but other times you will be extremly happy. You can't be sure because its unplanned by nature. With experience, your improvisation skills will improve. That's the way i see it.
I spend most of my "guitar time" improvising and i don't have any songwriting skills whatsoever.
