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

Yes.

The word "levamos" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed vowels (specifically the "a" in the suffix "-amos") are typically more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels tend to be more closed, reduced, or even neutralized, making the suffix sound much shorter and more muffled.
