Answer

#1
None is wrong, but none is as good as "and to me as well".

#2
None is wrong, but none is as good as "I don't think so, but his wife took one to Chicago."

#3
None is grammatically wrong.
I don't understand the meaning of (c)
(d) sounds odd.  Better: "No, but we do that."

#4
Each needs to be two sentences, or you need to insert "and" to make a proper compound sentence.
Better:
"She lost her money, and I wasn't surprised."
"She lost her money, which didn't surprise me."

#5
Only (a) sounds good.
"Done" what?  "Do" expects some action. "like saxophone" is not an action.
These work:
"Do you like saxophone?"  "Yes, I do."
"I like saxophone, and have always."
(5c) is acceptable, but "done so" adds nothing of value and feels awkward because "so" refers to some specific action and "liking" isn't really an action.

#6
All are correct, but none feels natural.
These feel natural:
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"I'm sorry to hear that he fell."

#7
All are fine.  They all work because "so", "that", and "it" refer to a clearly stated action.

#8
None is good because "it", "so", and "that" do not refer to any clearly stated action.  What's the action?  Having time?  Getting the tickets?  These two thoughts compete with each other. Better:
"Who will get them?"  ("Them" clearly refers to "tickets")

Answer

1:Ba,Bb,Bc-d is incorrect because it lacks "and" and "too". The conjunction joins both sentences to mean the second part is referring to the first or is the continuation of the first part,the "too" indicates the previous part of it were "and he did so to me" or "he did so to me too" it would have been correct.
2:Ba,Bb
3:Ba,Bb,Bc- d is incorrect because of the missing "but" which shows that you are bringing a different point.
4:4a,4b
5:5b,5c -all are grammatically correct but in 5a the second part of the sentence has a different meaning which is ownership.
6:Ba,Bb - the "it" in Bc doesn't sound grammatically correct to me.
7:Ba,Bb - the "it" in Bc doesn't sound grammatically correct to me.
8:Bb,Bc - Reason why not Ba is the same as number 6.
