Could it be changed that AI picked NI:s bit better? Considering Maya can't build ships I was bit surprised when I noticed their first NI in my game was superior seamanship.

...Indian nations can build ships. In fact, they're quite good at it.
Now, Native Americans , on the other hand...
The AI nations follow a list of NIs. This one was probably put in to further nerf the Maya by making them waste their first NI pick.

No, the AI chooses an idea randomly from a list of national idea's, there's one for each country under the common/country folder. If you a start new game you'll see that many countries have different first NI's than in the previous game.
The Aztecs, Incas, Zapotecs have the same list of ideas than the Mayans, all of them contain "superior seamanship" and "excellent shipwrights". I beleive these ideas were accidently left in by Paradox, because none of the other North American or African tribes have naval ideas in their lists, like how it should be.

I'm not completely sure about that. I think coutries like portugal, castille and england ALWAYS take QftNW as a first NI.
I've seen France taking national conscripts as a first idea many times before...
I have had game where Castille didn't take QftNW. In my current game France took QftNW as their first idea.
So they might be more likely to take certain ideas but not guaranteed to take them.

AI choice is partially but not completely random. See the experiment by dharper:

So if a native American nation obtains the latin tech-group (courtesy of patch 1.21) is it really that realistic that they STILL can NEVER build boats of any sort? I hope patch 1.3 addresses this.

Westernization does allow them to build boats- It however doesnt allow them access to cavalry or prevent province swiping during wars.
Province swiping depends on religion. If you mod England or France to be Pagan, it will get its provinces swiped.
