My mother, sibling, or maternal cousin and I both uploaded — should we get the same result?

Yes, along the same maternal line — small depth differences just reflect how much each file covers.

Along the same maternal line, yes. You, your mother, your full siblings, and relatives who connect to you through an unbroken chain of mothers should share the same mtDNA haplogroup. Small differences in depth usually just reflect how much of the mitochondrial genome each file covers.

Your father and his side don’t share your mtDNA line.
