Oneness is continuum, if of unlimited nature, of all things with no distinction of identity beyond continuum - it is indivisible, and incompressible to compare, since comparison requires divisibility. Things attributed with oneness which are limited can be compared with things of differing oneness, apples and oranges for traditional example, by higher, more comprehensive orders of oneness.
Sameness is replication of identity for the sake of comparison, and to distinguish is necessary to have a counter-resonance of self. By this means self examination is possible, and so too is self-fulfillment, the experience of reunion of its own highest reality, which we call perfect happiness, or bliss etc. This distinguishing of identities of like qualities develops the law of attraction as a by product, e.g. gravity between materials of mirrored states, love between agreeable/same people etc.
God bless.

Similar to your other qusetion, sameness is surely the similarities between more than one, and oneness is the seperateness and uniquness of an individual?

Oneness=State ,quality, of being one. Unity, union, singleness, singularity
Sameness=state, quality, of being the same, identity, exact likeness' exact correspondence, resemblance or similarity, Unvarying, uniform character; monotony (like this), tedious

To be one with something is to be the same with it, but to be the same as something is not necessarily being one with it.
I am one with myself, so anything that is a quality of myself, I am therefore the same as it.
However, I can share sameness with you as a fellow human being, but that doesn't mean I have to be one with you.
So I would say that oneness is absolute sameness, but sameness is only relative oneness.

Oneness is one entity while sameness is multiple entities with the same action/thought etc...
The first emphasizes unity, the second similarity.

Oneness implies union. Sameness carries the connotation of being alike, but not necessarily being one.

None!
When two objects have ALL the properties in common(sameness), they are in fact one thing(oneness).
This is called Leibniz's Law or Identity of indiscernibles. [1]
