They’re both really really close to perfect, and any native speaker would understand exactly what you’re saying with no problem, but I’d say them like this:
“I won’t be at my computer much today, I have to be somewhere.”
and
“It’s incredible how time flies! It will be Christmas soon!”
"I won't be able to use many computers today."
See how much/many in this position would indicate a multiple of computer? As though you could only use a few. But you're not wanting to count the number of computers but the amount of time. In the original, "the" before "computer" indicates it's singular so that the original sentence is simply not grammatical. What you probably mean is:
"I won't be able to use the computer much today."
(Edit: I think in older English you could also put "much" earlier in the sentence: "I won't much be able to use the computer today." Makes me think of "Tell me where is gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him." https://youtu.be/uE-1RPDqJAY?t=74)
For the second sentence, swap the verb and the noun. I don't know why.
"It's incredible how the time flies!"
Putting the verb before the time might fit in a question: "How flies the time? Like an arrow!"
If I saw either of those, I would assume that you started learning English recently. (Which is fine, it just means more work for us to understand each other)
As other comments have said the meaning is mostly clear but it's not how native speakers talk.
Ah, probably so - I have no idea how long in absolute terms it takes to reach any given amount of fluency, but my thought was that they noticeably still have a way to go - which I figured was why they asked, to get a straight answer on that.
I also have no idea how it's evaluated or what system those level labels are part of.
Yeah I only know about them, because I've taken my fair share of language tests. If you're interested here is a pretty good explanation of each level. These levels are used for (as far as I know) as a scale for every language.
Something I've noticed is that when South Asian people refer to someone by their first and last name, they always say Smith, John, instead of John Smith.
