It means 'two of a kind' or 'made for each other'.

No, "de tal palo, tal astilla" is like "The father is a good person, and so are they children" or "The SONY cameras are good, the new SONY cameras are also good"
Ejemplo: - Mira que bien juega a fútbol Juan - Que no te extrañe. Es hijo del famoso delantero XXX - Ah, claro. De tal palo, tal astilla. Saludos

"like father, like son" works pretty good for "de tal palo, tal astilla", although I probably prefer poli's suggestion.
