Difference between ~겠다 and ~게요
Is it just a matter of formality?
Also, what is the difference between 게 and 것, such as 그게 and 그것?
Thanks!

~겠다 used to say something we will definitely do next.
하겠다 ---> 하겠습니다 ---> 하겠어요 = will (definitely) do
먹겠다 ---> 먹겠습니다 ---> 먹겠어요 = will (definitile) eat
마시겠다 ---> 마시겠습니다 ---> 마시겠어요 = will (definitely) drink
etc.
~(ㄹ/을)게요 used to say something we will do, but there's no time information
ㄹ게요 attached in a verb ends with vowel, and 을게요 attached in a verb ends with consonant
가다 ---> 갈게요 = will go
하다 ---> 할게요 = will do
먹다 ---> 먹을게요 = will eat
잡다 ---> 잡을게요 = will catch
etc.
게 and 것 both used to point something.
Formally, it's (이/그/저)것이 but it's simply (이/그/저)게
example:
이것이 뭐예요? ---> 이게 뭐예요?
그것이 가방이에요 ---> 그게 가방이에요
