“How kind (nice) of you” and “My kind (sort) of people” are both appropriate uses of “kinda”. I hear it used more for the latter than the former, to be honest.
Also, it’s casual language anyways, so why even try to bring grammar into it, much less while being so confidently wrong?
“Mighty kinda ya” would not be out of place where I live, no. A dated expression as a whole, maybe, but spoken with a casual flow, that’s how it comes out.
I suppose one could also write it as “kind o’ ya” but “kind o’” is what is being truncated into “kinda”
kinda is just another way to say “kind of”

I see, so when you’re complimenting people you say “that’s kinda you”?
Or would you say “that’s kind of you”?
Feel free to say it out loud and let me know

What we say and how it’s written are two very different things.
In Swedish we have plenty of words that are pronounced identically, but they are spelled differently.
English is not much different. Take “you’re” and “your”. The pronounciations are almost identical, and in many dialects they are identical.
