No, there's a difference between looking at the mirror ("naar de spiegel kijken") and looking in it ("in de spiegel kijken"). With the first one, you look at the object itself (the mirror). The second one, you look at the reflection.

How is the sp-part of spiegel pronounced? Like sp in the English word sport, or with an "shp"-sound like sp in the German word spiegel (the newspaper)?

It's not incorrect, but it does put emphasis on the -you- part.
