Yes, that is the meaning of too as "overly or excessively".--Another is "We, too, are going to the mall." (not two as the number but too as "also")(Although the homophone "We two are going to the mall" is a different correct form.)
To it is not. The correct term is "how are you?""Which of the following statements is most correct?" is an interrogative sentence, a sentence that asks a question.The interrogative pronoun 'which' indicates that there are two or more choices from which to select a statement.
No. It is correct to say, "He received the letter two days ago."
No, it is not a correct sentence. The pronouns 'her' and 'him' are objective pronouns, used for the object of a verb or a preposition. Your sentence has her and him as the subject of the verb 'have'. The corresponding subject pronouns are 'she' and 'he'. Corrected sentence: Did she and he have a disagreement today? However, when using the names of the people for a compound subject, both names are used, for example 'Jane and John". But when pronouns are used, the two people are usually referred to in the plural as 'they'. Better sentence: Did they have a disagreement today?
Maybe. If the example you give is the entire sentence, then it is not correct: the verb should be plural to agree with the plural subject " two sons." But if the subject is "All that is left...." then the predicate "is two sons" is correct.
