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

Yes

The word "nosso" is identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese regarding its spelling, grammar, and fundamental meaning ("our"). The only differences are phonetic. In Brazilian Portuguese, the final "o" is generally pronounced as a clear, rounded vowel. In European Portuguese, unstressed final vowels are often reduced or "devoiced," making the "o" sound more like a short, muffled "u" (/nuʃu/).
