My friend and I worked at the same small business and co-founded a business together. Needless to say, we have very similar resumes. We also go to the same college and have the same major.... do you think this would be an issue if we applied to the same places?

Higher gpa wins. Happened to a kid in my school, same ec's, same internship, same majors, interviewed for the same FT jobs, but I only kept seeing one of them in the super days.
Yep - you will be compared
Yep - you will be compared against each other and essentially seen as equivalent. Whoever is better on paper will get interviews. Good luck
