In the case of identical twins, a single embryo divides into two completely separate and genetically identical embryos. Each embryo continues to grow and develop individually, but with the exact same genes as the other.
On an interesting side note: Children of identical twins are genetically as closely related to their parent's identical twin as they are to their identical twin parent. Genetically, both twins are the parent of the other's children. Also, their children are genetically half-siblings.

What is the probability of having twins if your husband is a twin?
Identical twins happen by chance only; 4 per 1000 births or 0.004 probability. Fraternal twin probability is increased only if it is on the mother's side; so this does you affect your circumstance (from what you have stated). The chance of fraternal twins is 1 in 60 or 0.017. So, your probability of identical twins is 0.004 and fraternal twins is 0.017 (BTW, I have triplets).

That would be a very unusual situation. Note that due to the normal process of genetic reshuffling that is involved in human reproduction, the children of the two couples would not be genetically identical even though their parents are.
