For example, in the sample sentence,
もう私は大人だから、そうは考えない.
Shouldn't second half be "そう考えない"?

Yes, it's an adverb. You can confirm with a Japanese dictionary that it's a 副詞.

I'm not going to comment on the example sentences here. I wouldn't bet money on any of them being good examples.

Is the example sentence grammatically incorrect? Or is it valid to use は?

No it isn't incorrect. は has different usages, for example contrasting.

It's an adverb and a noun. Just like temporal nouns, e.g.:
今日雨が降る
こう雨が降る
そうする = to do that way. So そう modified the verb, it's an adverb.
そうです = it's that. Here そう is a noun.
