"Either" tends to be used when you have a choice between two things. For example, "You can either stay at home or you can go out." This sentence format is sometimes used aggressively when someone is indecisive about something (i.e., they cannot chose between one or the other).
"Neither" is literally "not either," meaning that the choice one makes is not one of the two presented. For example, "Neither of the options appealed to me, so I didn't choose either one."
A common phrase in English is "it's neither here nor there," meaning "it doesn't matter".

"neither" is only used when you agree with a negative statement that someone has made
e.g.
"I never go outside during the winter."
"Me neither."
usually with negative words like "don't", "can't, "won't", "didn't", "wouldn't", "never", "not", etc.
but with "either", there are two uses. One is the same as how we use, "neither", (like "Me either") but you can also use it when giving someone a choice between multiple things.
e.g.
"You can either have a tuna sandwich or a ham sandwich."
"You can have either one (of those things)."
hope that cleared things up a little bit.
