I've never been to Brooklyn, or even New York, and I've heart "not for nothing" many times. I've never heard the first one. Is it supposed to be a "She thinks she's all that and a slice of bread" type thing? (Judging by a previous poster's response, not because it makes any darn sense to me.)

LMAO yep! I'm from upstate NY but have been living on Long Island for over 20 years and just started hearing this one. Wasn't sure if it was a Long Island-ism or what.

No. This doesn't even make sense!

In context, with the right intonation, it's always CRYSTAL clear. It means that the person thinks too highly of him or herself without any substantial basis for that opinion and is acting in a way that demonstrates his or her feelings of superiority.

Ex. Your snobby neighbor shows up at the casual block party in a lame jumpsuit and heels, full makeup. Everyone else brought potluck items to share for all, she clearly has with her like four overpriced bakery cookies. She's already been talking about how she can't stay long.

"Did you see Irene?"
[Meaningful look]
"Yes, she thinks who the hell SHE is."
"Mmmm-hmmm."
