If an electron and photon have the same energy, the electron will have a shorter wavelength, and a larger momentum. " is wrong I think. It turns out to be exactly opposite. electron wavelength comes out as (hc/E)*(c/v), where E is the energy and v is the velocity of electron. The wavelength of photon of energy E = [(hc)/E]!
