Is tin foil biodegradable?
Tin foil, so called, is these days more likely to be aluminum foil. This is because aluminum is much cheaper, and is adequate for the purpose. Both metals will degrade in the long time, but whether by biota (biodegradable) or by chemical means (corrosion) is probably immaterial. Tin tends to be toxic to many biota, hence the use of tributyl tin in anti-fouling paints on boat hulls. These have a widespread destructive effect on their local environment. Which is now considered undesirable.
Is aluminum made of tin?
Aluminum is absolutely not made of tin. Aluminum and tin are two separate elements.

Is a drink can biodegradable?
Old style steel ("tin") cans were, but modern aluminum cans, no. Steel eventually rusts away, but the oxides of aluminum are more durable than aluminum itself (in fact, they're used as abrasives, to wear away other stuff). On the other hand, recycling aluminum can is twenty times as efficient as extracting aluminum from bauxite ore.
