Don't use ditto when speaking to adults, especially if you aren't well acquainted with them.

Yes, it's a very informal word. Usually used by children between 9-15. I wouldn't use it in the workplace unless you're trying to be funny.
I've never heard children say "ditto". When I was a child I heard an adult using this word and I didn't know what it meant.
