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

Yes

The word "manchete" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese in terms of meaning, spelling, and grammar. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the final "e" is typically pronounced as a subtle /i/ sound (man-SHE-chee), whereas in Continental Portuguese, the final "e" is more reduced, neutralized, or even nearly silent depending on the speaker's regional accent.
