To confirm, we get a clone of the blood donor right, whether man or woman?

No, we get an egg (i.e. the part usually provided by the female), which must then be fertilized by sperm.

I don't know enough to say if that allows extracting eggs from males. Could two males have a child together using this technique?

No, I don’t think so, because the egg still needs to be fertilized by a sperm cell to develop into an embryo.

Now if the sperm cell were from the same donor I don’t know what would happen
