Before you look for lugia you need the silver wing which you get after saving the radio tower. After that to to Olivine City. Make sure you have a Pokemon lv 40 or higher and a Pokemon that knows surf and Whirlpool and Flash. You are going to surf until u find an island that which you need to enter by using whirlpool ( TIP: Make sure you have a lot of repels it saves you a bunch of time and it keeps your Pokemon ready for the fight again Lugia). Once you enter your gunna use flash to be able to see. The cave is a maze so your going to have to find your way through. Once you do you will surf down a water fall and enter another entrance. Surf again and at the end Lugia Lv40 is waiting.
a Good team for v.s Lugia:
!. Ampharos Lv 45 ( thunder, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Strength)
2. Dragonair Lv 43 ( Surf, Thunder, Waterfall, Blizzard)
3. Togetic Lv 38 ( Flash, Psychic, Fly, Fire Blast)
4. Typhlosion Lv 50 ( Dynamic Punch, Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, Fire Blast)
5. Umbrion Lv 24 ( Iron Tail, Pursuit, Hyper Beam, Headbutt)
6. Gyarados shiny Lv 30 ( Thrash, Whirlpool, Dragon Rage, Leer)
Best Tips are:
0: have him to Red HP without KO him, Save the game before you battle him
0: Have some kind of move to Paralyze him, it slows him on attacks as well as makes him easy to catch w/o the use of the Master ball (I have mine in an Ultra Ball)
0: the more times you throw balls at him, the greater the chance you can catch him (While low HP and status effect), so use weak/cheap balls at him first, then use whichever ball you want on him. Ultra Ball will only be the one you will actually be able to catch him in, not counting the Master Ball.
0: have a Defense/Spec Def Pokemon as your main to take the hits, so he will use all his PP. the one he will mainly not run out of is Extrasensory as its 30PP. Aeroblast and HydroPump are 5PP.
Additional Tip
0: Use an Ampharos Lv 37+ who has Thunderwave and Thunderpunch. Eevee's (Lv 38+) bite is super effective. I used a total of 2 pokeballs and 4 great balls and 1 ultra ball alternating, but the Great Ball was the one that caught it.

No. Lugia for SoulSilver and Ho-oh for HeartGold. Yes, you just get them at different times. You get Ho-oh in Johto and Lugia in Kanto in HeartGold, and vise versa in SoulSilver.
On whirl island
yes you can. but if you have Pokemon soulsilver, the first encounter will be a lugia and vice versa for ho-oh.
If you mean Lugia following you, yes, it can.
