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

Yes.

The word "souber" is the future subjunctive of the verb saber (to know). There are no differences in meaning, spelling, or grammar between Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation: in Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are typically more closed or even reduced (often becoming nearly silent), whereas in Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated.
