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

Yes

The word is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar. The only differences are phonological:

• Vowel Quality: In Brazilian Portuguese, unstressed vowels (such as the final "a" in analista) are more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are "closed" or reduced, meaning the final "a" sounds much more like a neutral, swallowed "uh" (/ɐ/).
• Rhythm: Brazilian Portuguese is more syllable-timed, giving each syllable a more distinct weight. Continental Portuguese is more stress-timed, meaning the unstressed syllables are shortened significantly to emphasize the stressed syllable (-lis-).
