Is there a straight way to clone or "deepcopy" a QgsVectorLayer Object with python? Unfortunately the python module "copy" is not successful with that.

In the QGIS 1.9 nightly build is a new function which allows to copy a layer from the layerbox via a simple mouseclick (rightclick on layer, copy). Maybe you can search for the respective function in the QGIS api

I have to solve it for Version 1.8. But otherwise this might work. Thank you!

The QgsVectorLayer class is just a view into the underlying data source so you can just do this to make a new layer:
newlayer = QgsVectorLayer(layer.source(), layer.name(), layer.providerType())
where layer is a instance of another QgsVectorLayer
