Question about Japanese
Do people say “唯一無二” in the same way we say “The one and only”? Is there a better term for that?

Yes, The one and only.
唯一無二（ゆいいつむに）is used both spoken and written language, but if you find it a bit rigid, equivalent will be
かけがえのない
invaluable
will be fine.

Thank you! Quick question though, if it were used in a playfully arrogant way, for example:
A: Is that you?
B: The one and only!
Could it be used like that?

唯一無二は、きわめてserious な言葉なので、arrogant な意味はないし、jokingly にも使いません。
もし、ふざけて、言うなら
他ならぬ俺様（おれさま）だぁ！
Not anyone else but me!
でしょうか？
