Megpoid Sweet is meant to be a "child-like" voice. However, because its voiced by an adult its not going to be 100% faithful a child vocal.

Children don't have perfect pronunciation and generally have softer vocals. Yuki was made with a child (or children, the translation hints more then one provider may be involved which I often point out) vocalist, so is a natural realistic child-like vocalist. Though Gumi Sweet is a natural vocal, its not going to be called "Children's vocalist" any day soon because its not and doesn't have the full traits of a children's vocalist.

Whisper and Sweet are "Soft" vocal types and do have a more child-like quality to them, whereas Adult and Power are more solid results for Gumi. Adult and Sweet are opposites to each representing youth and maturity, as are Whisper and Power representing strength and expression. "Native" sits supposedly in the centre of the four favoured traits, just imagination them like a cross with it in the centre. Gumi's age conception is "teen to young adult" officially.

As for how we can say they sound alike... A combination of the old pre-V4 recording style, plus the fact certain repeated traits lead to the human mind finding a pattern and a conclusion. Your ears can be just as easily tricked as your eyes in other words.
