A: Leave me alone, would you?
B: 1. Yes, I will.
2. Yes, I would.
 Are no.1 and no.2 both correct?
Do no.1 and no.2 mean the same thing? |

You won't hear "Yes, I would" from a native speaker, but you might hear "Yes, I will."
More likely, the answer would be, "All right" or "Okay" or even, "No, not until you give me back my wallet." The answer replies to the main part of the sentence: "Leave me alone." No need to reply to the polite tag line.
