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

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammar of the word "analisam" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed vowels (the first "a" and the "a" in the suffix) are generally more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, these unstressed vowels are much more reduced, often sounding much shorter or nearly "swallowed."
