'Two of a kind' means a pair that are just alike. It does not speak to the commonality of the item or persons.

I've not heard two of a kind used like that, but it's interesting to hear 'of a kind' scales logarithmically.

I thought “two of a kind” meant that they were the same. Like you and your friend are two of a kind, liking the same things, having similar personalities, etc.
