You could be charged, If you are both charged, should each hire an attorney and fight it in court.

No, not unless you somehow have constructive possession (I.e. person in your vehicle). Even then it would be touch to prove unless you admit that the marijuana found on someone else was really yours. More facts would be needed and thus the importance of consulting with an experienced attorney.

Although I would not post a lot more about your case on this site, it is not really possible to answer your question without more information. Yes, you can be charged with Marijuana if it is in the vehicle and/or location where you are (the general vicinity). Generally, the officers will charge everyone in the vicinity of the vehicle or location where marijuana is found. A good attorney should be able to get that charge dismissed based on the few facts you have given.

Never look for consistency in Florida Law. The answer is yes but it really depends on the facts.

There is such a concept as "constructive" possession. That means more than one person can be charged.
