what is the difference between 'same here' and 'too' if there is any?

Here are some examples:
1) A: I'm very pleased to see you.
B: I'm pleased to see you too

(can we just say "I'm too" ? No. no. no)
OR same here. Yes

2) two friends are talking about an other friend:
A: I expect him to pass the exam this time.
B: I do too OR same here (which one of the two expressions is better and sounds more natural?)
Both are fine and natural. 'Same here' is more casual and idiomatic.

Overall, I want to know if they can be used interchangeably in every situation. No.
Tom: I like chocolate.
Mary: Same here. a correct answer

Mary: I do, too. a correct answer

Mary: Too. an incorrect answer

Thank you very much Sir for your reply,

So with 'too', we have to use/ say a proper sentence or the helping verb corresponding to the tense (in the sentence uttered previously)?

Here's an example:

A: I like to visit America once every year.
B: I like to visit.... too. / I like to do that too. Or simply same here.

Thanks

Yes.

Another casual answer that is very common is this.

A: I like to visit America once every year.
B: Me too!
