Is the word alemanha the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "alemanha" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation.

In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated, making the word sound more melodic and rhythmic. In Continental (European) Portuguese, vowels—especially unstressed ones—tend to be more closed, reduced, or even "swallowed," which can make the word sound shorter or more clipped to a Brazilian ear.
