I had a hole in some drywall that I repaired with spackle paste. I sanded it down so it is level with the existing drywall. The problem now is that the spackle is smoother than the surrounding drywall. How can I create the same texture in the spackle so that it looks seamless when I paint over it?

If the drywall has a substantial amount of texture, you'll find 'texture in a spray can' at your favorite big box store. Probably get the one that says, "orange peel" on the label. Like this: spray texture
If it's just a tiny bit of texture, use a thick nap paint roller and start putting coats on. You'll have some texture in no time.
