Why is 'too' used in 'you would too'?
For example, if A has just bet B £5 that B will not jump into the swimming pool fully clothed, and B defiantly starts to walk towards the pool, A may well say something like:
A: My God, you would too!
Why is 'too' used here? Does that mean A would do the same too?

too adverb (CERTAINLY)
US informal used to emphasize a positive answer to a negative statement:
"I'm not going to school today." "You are too!" ("You are too going to school!")
The bet is to NOT jump into the pool. "My God, you would too jump into the pool!"
The statement expresses surprise that person B would jump into the pool even though the bet was to not jump in.

no it doesn't mean that it is an expression you are basically saying that actions is something only you would do
for example you may have a crazy friend that likes to do really crazy things. after he eats like a bowl of hot peppers if he tells you "hey man I just ate all those peppers" you might laughingly say "haha you would too"

It's more of an expression of surprise like 'Oh my gosh you really would.'
It's rarely seen in a written form, more speech between friends.
