hermaphrodites are sterile, so no they couldn't.

Biology 101

The kid would not be a clone because it is still sexual reproduction since it is using an egg and sperm to reproduce. So there is a good chance that you could have a lot of differences with the child. It would depend on your genes, if you had like the dominant allele for a trait (X) along with the recessive one (x) then it would be Xx so if you cross and Xx the possible outcomes are XX, Xx, Xx, and xx. XX and Xx are genetically different but physically the same so only 2 phenotypes (physical appearance) are possible, the recessive of xx and the dominant of Xx, Xx, and XX. If however your genotype was XX or xx then the only outcomes would be XX and xx respectively in that case the child would be just like you in that specific trait. So like I said it all depends on each specific genotype for each trait and that makes the chances of the child being just like you extremely rare.
