Hello everyone!

I.Please explain for me these sentences below. What do they imply?
1) “What is our scale of best?”
2) “I’m kind of in the same boat” or “I’m in the same boat”
3) “You want to be up and out”
4) “Yes I feel that way too”

II. At the beginning of a talk, a discussion or S.T like that, he often says “I though we would talk about S.T”. For example:
“OK, I though we’d talk about health . So first of all, we're going to talk about remedies. What do you do when you have a cold?...” or
“I thought we would talk about traveling. Can you talk about some of the places you've been to.?...”
Why does he use the word “would”? Please explain.
