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

Yes

The word "enteado" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding its spelling, meaning, and grammatical classification (masculine noun). The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazil, the vowels tend to be more open and the pronunciation is more "vocalized." In Portugal, unstressed vowels are often more closed or reduced, which changes the phonetic rhythm of the word.
