Accidental eye contact is my favorite scenario too. I figured that was where the thing in the evil twin defense bit came from, and I quite like it like that I think. I think personally, I'd have the eye contact scene happen before that, and maybe even have Foggy having dismissed it. He was drinking too, there was low light in the bar (or wherever they were) and why the hell would someone lie about that anyway? So he's been assuming for a few weeks that he must have been mistaken, but at the same time not been quite able to get it out of his head. Then when Matt says this completely unexpected and random thing about having a twin he's never mentioned before, the whole think comes flooding back and he thinks that if Matt could make up something like this, couldn't he, just possibly, have told this other huge lie too?
It could work with the bar scene after too, but once Matt's planted the identical twin think in his head, he's probably going to be thinking about it all the time, looking for differences in the behavior of the 'Matt' he's with and might even be subconsciously looking for proof one way or another. Matt's told him his brother's impersonating him, so Foggy might view 'Matt' apparently being able to see as proof he's with Mike instead, and start asking trying to catch him out. Which could be fun too, actually, but it would negate the Foggy thinking Matt's lying about being blind thing.
All good points about their practice and their knowledge level etc, and having some kind of experience would account for that, but when would Foggy have done that, do you think? The most likely time would be after undergrad, before law school, which would mean Matt and Foggy did meet at law school, unless Matt found himself a job too, or they would have graduated at different times. Of course, could't they have accumulated a good chunk of this knowledge while the were interning at Landman and Zack? I don't have much knowledge of any of this stuff, and it sounds like you do, so I'll defer to your judgement on it.
No, they haven't mentioned Rosalind Sharpe, I'm assuming she isn't the mom that wanted Foggy to be a butcher! I wish they would give us some back story on him so we don't have to guess and extrapolate from the comics and the few hints we are given! I don't think they're going to give us much though...
