That is one spelling of the red "cherry pepper", pimento, notably used for stuffed olives, meats, and cheeses. The Spanish spelling pimiento is sometimes used interchangably, but there are technical differences.
The term "bell pepper" implies that it's not spicy, but yes, unless you're talking about a SPECIFIC kind of pepper (i.e. Habanero, Jalepeno) they are the same. Take care. Red pepper is also the name used to describe the hot pepper flakes used in Italian cooking. That's very different from red pepper meaning a bell pepper.
The pimento (or the Spanish form pimiento) is a heart shaped red red pepper usually 3-4 inches long and 2-3 inches wide. It is of Spanish descent. Many green olives are stuffed with pieces of pimento. The spice paprika consists of dried pimentos.
It is a large, sweet, heart-shaped, red chili pepper. They are commonly used to stuff green olives and to make pimento cheese.
Ground red bell pepper goes very well in stir fry. It can also be used in spaghetti sauce and other foods that call for bell pepper. Ground yellow and orange bell peppers can also be used in these same foods as they are very close in taste to the red ones. And a mix of all three is a good choice too. Paprika is sometimes made with ground red bell pepper and that is used in goulash, soups, stews, and other sauces. Therefore, in the absence of paprika for a recipe the ground bell pepper can be used as a substitute.

BELL PEPPER. ONION, CELERY (are they the same as in Oriental cooking : Chilli, ginger & garlic ?) No, the "trinity" is usually different in each culture.

Some Cajuns add garlic and would then refer to it as the "holy trinity."
