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

Yes

The word "superei" is identical in meaning, grammar, and spelling in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. It is the first-person singular, preterite indicative of the verb superar (to overcome, to surpass, or to get over). The only difference is pronunciation: Brazilian Portuguese tends to have more open, clearly articulated vowels, whereas Continental Portuguese features significant vowel reduction, making unstressed vowels sound much shorter or more "muted."
