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

No.

While the literal meaning of "embrulhou" (to wrap something in paper, cloth, or other material) is identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese, there are differences in typical usage and pronunciation.

Usage: In Brazil, the reflexive form "se embrulhar" is a common idiomatic way to describe someone getting tangled, confused, or "mixed up" in a situation or task. While a Portuguese person would understand this, they would more naturally use verbs like "enredar-se" (to get tangled) or "confundir-se" (to get confused) to express the same idea.

Pronunciation: The pronunciation differs significantly due to rhythm and vowel articulation. Brazilian Portuguese is more syllable-timed and tends to have more open, clearly articulated vowels. European Portuguese is more stress-timed, which leads to "vowel reduction," making unstressed vowels sound much shorter or more closed, often making the word sound more "clipped" to a Brazilian ear.
