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

Yes.

The word "mudado" is identical in meaning, grammar, and spelling in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the final "o" is typically reduced to a "u" sound ([muˈdadu]), and the "d" is a standard dental/alveolar consonant. In Continental Portuguese, the "d" is often pronounced as a dental fricative ([ð]), and the unstressed vowels are more closed.
