Something like this:

what does the sign do?

if the count of the shared points is greater than 0 you get 1
otherwise you get 0.

could u make it so that it would output the coordinates of the point?

The previous answers contained an stupid bug (a y instead of an x), here’s the corrected version:

ps: I’ll answer your new question … in a bit

This gives you the list of the shared points:

If you are working with points perhaps you may also want to introduce some tolerancies to account for approximation errors: In that case the function Ssamepoint(p,q) should become:
S_samepoint(p,q) = { abs(p.x-q.x)<0.01: {abs(p.y-q.y)<0.01: 1, 0}, 0}

Here’s a different method that makes use of the distance() function many folks overlook. You could also use a tolerance instead of distance = 0.
