Yes, they are both correct but the first is more clear. It tells us that you are on the subway rather than a bus or a train.

The second is correct as long as you stated before hand that you were actually on a train. That is, you're implying "We get off (the train) at the next station".
The first is incorrect. You wouldn't get "off the subway". You might come "out of the subway", but it would be better to say we get "off the train" at the next station. The subway refers to the entire system whereas the thing you're "on" is the train.

They're both correct; however, in the first sentence "the subway" is redundant, because it's obvious that you're already on the subway.

They are the same gramatically, you just added "the subway" in the first one, which only specifies what you are getting off of.

Yes, they are both correct. Who is your English teacher? Give him/her a pat on the back for doing such a great job!

Both are almost correct. You didn't have 'will' in them.
