The problem is that both computers return hostname = localhost, so that won't work. IP address is not always possible, as the network might not be up, especially on the laptop.

How would I check the HWaddress (MAC)?

As ifconfig returns a whole list of things:

1.How can I isolate just 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx in order to make a comparision?
2.How do I make this comparison in bash? I guess this value must be a string?

Wrong approach (that means I don't know how to do it reliably).

Try this instead, it needs to be run as root:
  #!/bin/bash
  # get the root device
  rt_dev=$(df / | sed -n '2s/ .*//p'
  # get the UUID in a shell variable
  fsid=$(dumpe2fs -h $rt_dev | sed -n '/UUID:/s/.*: *//p')
  # now you can test it against one or more systems
  # if they NFS mount their root like dickless workstations
  # you have to test something else like /tmp
