For a foundation for a building, it is necessary to excavate at least below the soil zone, and further, sufficiently to enable a strong enough concrete foundation to support the intended building. Commonly, the base of the trench (the footing) will be a few times wider than the actual width of the foundation wall, so as to provide sufficient load bearing for the building.

A shear wall is a structural element in a building that helps resist lateral forces such as wind or earthquakes. It functions by transferring these forces to the foundation, providing stability and preventing the building from swaying or collapsing.
A retaining wall can typically be built as close as 3 feet to a house foundation, but it is important to consult with a structural engineer or local building codes to ensure proper distance and safety.
