Ok /sci/, pretend there's a planet somewhere with the exact same atmosphere, temperature and environment as earth. Everything is exactly the same.

Would that mean that the same things happen on that planet as on earth?
Considering everything we do is a reaction to something else (hungry: eat, angry: war) and nothing happens out of randomness.

No.
Same starting conditions does not mean that all events will happen exactly the same.

Random chance plays a big part in events, and it builds up and up every day.

And which kinds of events would be random?

Plenty of things happen out of randomness. The most important feature of such an earth-like planet would be life, and mutations are chance occurrences, not to mention abiogenesis itself. Imagine a world where no life photosynthesized.
