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

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of "interromper" are identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference is the pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often reduced or "swallowed" (becoming much shorter or nearly silent), and the "s" sound is more frequently pronounced as "sh" when appearing at the end of syllables.
