Is child's PID and parents' PID identical?

No, every process gets its own PID. Otherwise, all PIDs would be the same, since every process is a child of some other process, all the way back to the init process (PID 1). The fork() system call will return the PID of the child to the parent, and will return 0 to the child. The child can find out its own PID with getpid(), and its parent PID with getppid().
