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

Yes

The word is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often "closed" or reduced, meaning the initial "e" in extrato may sound much shorter, more muffled, or almost disappear, depending on the speaker's speed.

Brazilian Portuguese Examples
