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

Yes

The word "traçamos" is identical in Brazilian and Continental Portuguese in terms of spelling, grammar, and semantic meaning. The only differences are phonetic: Brazilian Portuguese typically features more open vowels and a more melodic, syllable-timed rhythm, whereas Continental Portuguese features significant vowel reduction (where unstressed vowels are pronounced more closed or almost disappear) and a different prosody.
