"Give as good as one gets"
Hi, I have a question of this sentence. Is it assumed here that the 'one' would only get something bad? or does it mean returning sth. good or bad is not decided and would depend on what one got?

In my experience, it has always referred to competition in some way, so what you get is a punch or a caustic remark.
