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

Yes

The word "trouxer" is the future subjunctive form of the verb trazer (to bring), and it is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding meaning, grammar, spelling, and fundamental usage. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and the syllables are more clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, there is a much higher degree of vowel reduction, meaning unstressed vowels are often shortened or "swallowed," making the word sound more clipped and consonant-heavy.
