I can assure you, the spider does not realize that what it sees is its own reflection. They are too simple for that.
It may be thinking however "damn, this guy is pretty good!" 😄

Yeah, that little dance could be a show of a aggression, spiders are territorial creatures. Every year a cardinal nests in the tree outside the break room where I work, and it spends hours attacking his reflection in the window, thinking it's another male.

It is funny seeing cats trying to attack themselves when they see a mirror, so the fact that ants can is amazing.
