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

No.

While the spelling, meaning, and grammatical conjugation of "tive" (the first-person singular preterite of the verb ter) are identical in both dialects, there is a difference in typical usage regarding the preposition that follows it when expressing obligation. In Brazilian Portuguese, it is standard to use "tive que" (had to), whereas in Continental Portuguese, the standard construction is "tive de" (had to).
