I got Sorin, Solemn Visitor -A Planeswalker- in a booster pack. How often may one get a planeswalker like Sorin, Solemn Visitor in a booster pack?
Generally you have a 1 in 8 chance of getting a mythic rare. There are 15 mythics possible in Khans, 2 of which are planeswalkers, so you have a 1 in 60 chance.

Unless I'm mistaken some mythical are more mythic than others, so it's smaller than 1/60
This isn't Yu-Gi-Oh. We only have four Rarities and everything appears at the same rate. It just feels like it because we remember the times when we pull something awesome more than the times we don't. Also, since so many cards are only Mythic for flavor reasons, we remember bad Mythics more often (and they definitely outnumber the Planeswalkers you could get)

I thought I read somewhere that on the rare and mythic sheet some get 1 more card, thus making it slightly harder to get.
Link or it didn't happen
Being as I've opened a ton of Khans and just saw my first {Ruthless Ripper} from a pack I opened for Christmas, I don't think the spread is actually even. Still never cracked a {Sultai Charm}.

I've gotten a sultai charm in almost every pack I've opened
Idk. I opened 15 packs of JOU and get 5 {Mana Confluence}. 15 packs of KTK and 3 {Jeskai Ascendancy} with no other doubles of rares.

That's the thing about true randomness. One person's experience is unique to them and does not reflect the population as a whole. I've not yet opened a {Retribution of the Ancients} (and hopefully never do!) nor have I opened an {Icedaddy Aven}, that doesn't necessarily make them the rarest of rares and uncommons.

This isn't the one I originally got the idea from but whatever. http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Rare
Confirmed for the older sets, can't find anything for the new sets
There is common called the 101st common in larger sets that is slightly less rare (rarity of an uncommon) due to way the printing sheets are put together, but I don't think the same is true for other rarities.
Guys guys, I opened one box, plus 2 gift boxes and a few random other boosters. I pulled 3 Sorin, 3 Sarkhan. Before this set, that's never happened. Also have I think 7 fetches from pack pulls only. Random! Before now I kinda thought it was slightly skewed rarity as well.
Edit: I also only pulled one uncommon {Swarm of Bloodflies} out of almost 2 boxes.
