1. 我要問佢啲野 I want to ask him something.

Grammatically correct.

2. 我嘅住喺香港嘅嗰個朋友 That friend of mine who lives in HK.

Canto natives seldom use two 嘅 in one phrase; it sounds unnatural.
The phrase should be 我嗰個住喺香港嘅朋友, thus avoiding the use of two 嘅 in one phrase.

3. 周星馳好似李小龍多過洪金寶好似佢 Stephen Chow resembles Bruce Lee more than Sammo Hung does.

This sentence sounds like a Cantonese translation with a long English structure. I don’t think any Canto native would talk like that. We can’t even be sure who does 佢 refer to.
A better version could be 比起洪金寶, 周星馳就似李小龍多啲.
Try to use more commas in a Cantonese sentence.
