Why does it give you notification when you comment?

Because the system doesn't care about who is replying, only that your comment has a new reply.

It's the same on the forum side with quotes, if you quote yourself you will get a blue icon.

Does it give you the blue icon?

The times that I did quote myself, I have yet to see it, but that may be because I 'see' the post after quoting? :/
