What’s the difference between kami and kita here?

Both mean we, but:

• kami excludes the listener (we but not you). That fits the sentence if the listener didn’t join.
• kita includes the listener (we including you). Use this only if you’re talking to someone who was also there.

Is ketawa informal? Should I use tertawa instead?

Yes. ketawa is casual/colloquial; tertawa is the standard/formal form. Your sentence is neutral–casual overall. A more formal version would use tertawa.

What does jalan-jalan mean, and how is it different from berjalan or berjalan-jalan?

• jalan-jalan: to stroll/go out for fun/hang out (leisure activity).
• berjalan: to walk (move on foot), not necessarily for leisure.
• berjalan-jalan: standard/formal equivalent of jalan-jalan. Meaning is the same; tone is more formal.
