A couple more restaurant related questions

Experts,
At a restaurant when asking your company what he is going to have:
What are you going to have?
What are you having?
Can either of the these expressions be used synonymously?

Also, if you dropped your fork and telling the server in hope of having it changed, would it be "Excuse me but, I dropped my fork. "or "I dropped the fork." or "I dropped this fork." ?

Thank you.
