A huge number of these expressions are probably loan translations, i.e. one language has borrowed a metaphor from the other. It is sometimes difficult to know which way round, but it does not necessarily mean that the languages have a lot in common just because they steal each other's ideas.

Yes, living from hand to mouth is an expression that means just making enough money to survive and not a penny more.
