Default Re: furture tense and How+Adj

Though they can often be used in the same way, we tend to use 'going to' for things we want or intend to do, and 'will' for things we don't control, or when we decide now or for promises, etc.
1- 'So do I' is correct
2- So has mine

I'm not sure what you want with how+ adjective, but we can use it with many adjectives:
How big is it?
How far is it?
How expensive was it?
