Answer 1

Hello Tattle and Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

You will find this phrase in the Spanish Dictphrasebook:

It takes one to know one

= el que lo dice lo es

I hope this helps

Answer 2

Nothing comes to mind as a close equivalent but how about these expressions:

"Mira quién habla."

"Le dijo la sartén al cazo."

Finally, there is also this one I understand is used more in Spain:

I am guessing these can be used in a variety of contexts, both positive and negative, but more so the latter....
