How do I create a filter that recognizes msgs with From and To fields being the same?
Whenever I get any sort of message where both the To and From are listed as being the "same", I am sure it is more than "Junk", I am sure I want it to hit the Trash. Enough so that I will be 100% sure to toss it there if I can get a filter to recognize it as such. The attached image will show a little better version of what I am referring to. I am getting about twenty of these type of messages a day now.

Are you marking each as junk upon arrival? The filter only learns if your tell it what you consider junk and what you do not. Over time it learns. I even taught it over a period that mail from a cerrtain address was spam. To the point when good things came in on that mailing list they were tossed as well.
Manual filters are a very poor approach to SPAM management. You end up spending more time on the filters than you do on the spam in the first place.
I am a bit hesitant to allow the junk filter to do too much aside from mark something as junk, and as such, it only sets it aside, and still doesn't get tossed into the trash can without my direct interaction and/or permission, so it really doesn't save me that much effort/time.
The prime reason is that, the junk filter is bound to make the occasional mistake on something important sent to me that is in fact a business matter, a joke from a friend, or a larger message from another account from another of my devices that I have sent to this machine's email on this one.
I still would prefer to have some absolute Boolean conditional decision making I could have done with name and the addresses, such as empty, equal, contained in lists/books, and negatives thereof. That sort of stuff.
The junk filter has trouble dealing with the volume of SPAM emails I get every day with the From: accounts listed as being stuff like "WEN Hair Care <srvtxni@9vhzrgj.gambadecellulous.com>" and getting one or three of those a day, each with a few characters varied form in several accounts, several times every day.

Check the junk folder when you check your normal mail, and if the junk processing made a mistake, you can simply mark the message as "not junk" and it will be moved back to the inbox. That teaches Thunderbird that it made a mistake and will correct it.
One thing I hate is people sending messages with my email address as the return address, and I report those messages to an antispam organization in the hope that it can get those spammers shut down. It usually works. For a while I get no more of those messages.
