In Eclipse when you click on a method name a variable, or an object for example, the same ones are highlighted in a specific color elsewhere in the code for easy finding.
Is there a similar feature in Xcode?

You can highlight them using a find operation:
If you've selected a word, hit Cmd+E (find based on current selection), Cmd+F (show the find bar), then Cmd+G (find next). You can become very productive in Xcode (or any other OS X app for that matter) through judicious use of Cmd+E, Cmd+F and Cmd+G.

If you count underlining as highlighting I would say "yes". If you select the Variable and keep the cursor there, Xcode will underline all other instanced of that variable.

15Apple should know… If you going to do something, do it well! The underline is a lame attempt at highlighting. I say, highlight properly or not at all! – Bradley Thomas Dec 23 '13 at 15:35

@BradThomas - I agree. The whole Xcode is a lame attempt to create an IDE. – Duck Aug 23 '16 at 14:17
