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

Yes

The word "enviou" is identical in meaning, grammar, and spelling in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. It is the third-person singular indicative past tense of the verb enviar (to send). The only difference lies in pronunciation: Brazilian Portuguese tends to have more open vowels, whereas Continental Portuguese often features more closed or reduced vowels, particularly in unstressed syllables.
