'Go' carries an element of meaning of 'away from the place the speaker is now in'.
'Come' carries an element of meaning of 'towards the place the speaker is now in.'
Therefore 'I'm coming with you' focuses on the togetherness and the presumed simultaneous arrival of the two people at a shared place.
'I'm going with you' focuses on the departure together towards a distant destination. The difference is quite subtle but could be important.
There are similar elements of meaning in the verbs 'bring' v. 'take' - though more marked.

There isn't really one. "Coming" is just referring more to you and them leaving a place together to go somewhere else, and "going" refers more to you leaving the place yourself because the other person is also leaving.
(Hard to describe. But basically, they're exactly the same).

Well if your not there yet, coming with you could mean your going to the same destination but not necessarily goin in the same vehicle or getting there the same way. Goin with you implies you want to get there the same way or in the same vehicle.

"I'm coming with you", is incorrect. People come here and go there.
