The Andromeda Galaxy is similar to our galaxy. It is only a little bit bigger, and has more stars.
Thay are not.
There could be billions of other galaxies similar to the milky way.
For one thing, the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, which is the most abundant type of galaxy.

The Milky Way contains an estimated 100 billion to 400 billion stars and a similar number of planets as well as a variety of gas clouds.
The constellation Centaurus is not similar to the Milky Way galaxy. Centaurus is a constellation visible from Earth, consisting of stars that appear to form a pattern as seen from our perspective. The Milky Way, on the other hand, is a spiral galaxy that contains billions of stars, including our solar system. The Milky Way is much larger and more complex than the constellation Centaurus.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral barred galaxy, similar to our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
Both are spiral galaxies.
What aspect of the "working" of the Milky Way are you interested in? The Milky Way is a galaxy - the galaxy we live in. It consists of several hundred billion stars, each a sun similar to our own Sun. It has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.
The Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy appear to be of similar size, and approximately similar structure. It's difficult to know since we're inside the Milky Way and we can't see the whole thing from outside, but we suspect that the two galaxies would have a similar appearance as well. Also, in about 4 billion years, they're going to collide and merge.
No planets are similar but there is a moon. Titan, one of Jupiter's moons, is very similar to Earth.
Probably not a twin, but certainly similar - the Andromeda galaxy.
