Yes, the reflexive pronouns and the intensive pronouns are the same words.
They are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.
The difference is in their use. When used to 'reflect' its antecedent, it's called a reflexive pronoun. When used to emphasize its antecedent, it's called an intensive pronoun.
Examples:
Dad got up and made himself some breakfast. (reflexive)
Dad himself got up and made breakfast. (intensive)

No, emphasizing pronouns and reflexive pronouns are not the same. Emphasizing pronouns are used to give extra emphasis to a particular noun or pronoun in a sentence, whereas reflexive pronouns are used when the subject of a verb is also the object of the verb, indicating that the action is being performed by the subject on itself.
