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

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical usage of "estabilidade" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more "open" and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, vowels that are not stressed (like the 'e' in the middle of the word) are often reduced or nearly silent, and the rhythm of the word is much more "clipped" and "staccato."
