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

Yes

The meaning, grammar, and spelling of "estrear" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The primary differences lie in pronunciation: in Brazil, the vowels tend to be more open and the "r" sound varies by region (often being more aspirated or retroflex), whereas in Portugal, vowels are more closed and the "r" sound is typically more guttural or a distinct tap.
