Does it equal "you are the one to talk"?

Its used to express amazement when someone who normally doesnt speak, or shouldnt speak does. It draws attention to the speaker, usually in a bad sense. It is most often sarcasm, but can be used in a positive sense as well. You are the one to talk is never used in a positive sense.

It would depend on the content of what was said to prompt such a response.
In most cases it would mean something in the line of one's judgement. To make a comment about someone/something that also describes/references the person making the comment.

Yes. It can be spoken in kindness too.
For example, if someone says :" you are so beautiful", the other person can smile and say:" look who's talking!" as a complement back.

They're about the same.
If you were wearing your sister's jacket--that you took from her closet without asking--and you said: "You always borrow my clothes!" she might say "Look who's talking!"

Yes it does. Say a fat person calls you fat, this phrase would come into effect.
