It can happen... kind of.

There are certain things that can interfere with a drug test and show a false positive (false negatives, not so much, so don't get your hopes up).

There are, from a chemical standpoint, essentially two types of "drug test". There are quick, relatively cheap "screening tests" like immunoassays, and then there are more expensive, more specific chromatographic tests. You can test positive on the first for drugs you didn't take. On the second... not really.

There are some drugs that are chemically almost identical, and that are turned by your body into exactly the same metabolites, so even a chromatographic test may not be able to unambiguously distinguish whether you took, say, morphine or heroin. But if they're that closely related chemically, they almost certainly have essentially the same effect and if one of them is illegal, the other one probably is as well.

Does morphine and hydrocodone show up the same on drug test?

I'm not sure if the test would specifically test for Hydrocodone, it would most likely test for opiates, which are in both Hydrocodone and Morphine. So in short, yes, if the drug test is testing for opiates in your system, both Hydrocodone and Morphine will cause a positive for opiates.

No. The urine you provide for a drug test must come directly from your bladder. Taking it from the toilet will dilute it, and the lab will know that, and you will automatically be considered to test positive.
