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

Yes

The word "partisse" is the first or third-person singular of the imperfect subjunctive of the verb partir. There are no differences in meaning, spelling, or grammar between Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation: in Brazil, the unstressed final "e" is generally pronounced more clearly or with a slightly more open sound, whereas in Portugal, unstressed vowels are much more reduced, making the final "e" almost silent or extremely short.
