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

Yes

The word "sobrinho" has the same meaning, spelling, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated. In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels (such as the "i" in "sobrinho") are often more reduced or "swallowed," resulting in a more clipped, stress-timed rhythm.
