As per my understanding 'anyhow' = 'anyway' and 'somehow' = 'someway'

Ex:
Anyhow I have to complete the project.
Somehow I have to complete the project.

May be both are same.

Tapas MandalAnyhow I have to complete the project.
That is not standard English. It is used casually, but don't use it in formal writing.
Tapas MandalSomehow I have to complete the project.
That's OK. By some means, (I don't know exactly), I have to get the project done.

Yes.

No. Somehow means in some way. You might not know how you’re going to complete the project, but you’ll manage somehow.

I don’t think anyhow is what you mean. See its uses here:
