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

Yes

The meaning, spelling, and grammar of "filhote" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed final "e" is typically pronounced as a clear /i/ sound (e.g., filhot-ee). In Continental Portuguese, this vowel is highly reduced and neutralized, sounding like a very short, muffled /ɨ/ (similar to the "e" in the English word "the").
