Answer 1

You must use validation rule.

1. You must select specific field of repeating table.
2. Add validation rule to it.

3. Select the expression and add rule:

    ../my:fzScopeName = ../preceding-sibling::my:fzItem/my:fzScopeName
   

   or

   ../my:fzScopeName = ../following-sibling::my:fzItem/my:fzScopeName
   

Note that: My field name is fzScopeName and fzItem is parent it, as same repeating table structure. see this image
