Hi Hzp;

These are such common expressions, that they are almost idioms.

I don't think so is a very common negative response to a question. It is less abrupt than a simple "No."
A: Does it work?
B: No, I don't think so.

A: Should we have done that?
B: No, I don't think so.

Sometimes it is a rude objection to someone's statement when it is disagreeable to you.

Mom: We are going to visit your brother tomorrow.
Me: I don't think so. (I don't want to go visit him, I refuse to go, and if necessary, I will go into my room and lock the door.)

As a question, it is asking for agreement:

He's a really cool guy. Don't you think so?

Forget it. is a common expression to abruply close an argument or to say that you want to change the subject. "It" is whatever subject you have been talking about.

"Forget it, just forget it. You're wasting your time. "
" Why are you bringing this up again? We've talked about it for too long. Let's just forget it. "
