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

Yes

The spelling, grammar, and meaning of "realizem" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. It is the third-person plural form of the present subjunctive (and the imperative) of the verb realizar. The only difference is pronunciation: in Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are more open and the nasal "em" is more clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often reduced or almost silent, meaning the "e" in "re-al-izem" might be barely audible to a Brazilian ear.
