If I wanted to figure out the chances of playing 2 identical games of solitaire, how exactly would I go about doing that?

you would have to use mathematics

Yes and which ones would I use?
52 cards in the deck. 28 laid out on the table. 24 in the draw pile. I can only draw 3 at a time. I'm not sure where to go from here.

use those numbers to do some probability mathematics

Monte Carlo, then work backwards.

I'm pretty sure the number of possible games is just permutations of 52 cards, so 52! (big number)
Then just use the birthday problem and replace 365 with 52! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

It might be less because there's some symmetry. Swapping clubs<->spades, hearts<->diamonds or red<->black leads to the same gameplay. A (cyclic) permutation of the 24 card draw deck might be allowed too.
