In the final って in B's answer, I am supposing that this is the "quotative って,"
used as a way to emphasize B's own voice. Is he metaphorically quoting
himself?

Perhaps the implication is:

> "Yeah, like I said, I know that without being told."

Is this line of thinking correct? Would someone explain this use of って?

Is there a Japanese term for this って?

*Apologies in advance for my colorful usage of the word solipsistic. If you think of a better title feel free to change it.

Question on an apparent solipsistic usage of the "quotative って"
Yes, he is quoting himself for emphasis (although I don't know what is
solipsistic about it). I think of it as an ellipsis of something like

> 言われなくても分かってる **って言ってるでしょ** 。  
>  **I'm telling you,** I get it even without being told.

There is also

> 言われなくても分かってる **ってば** 。

which means roughly the same thing. (See sense 2 of [this dictionary
entry](http://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%A6%E3%81%B0).)
