"Tasmanian wolf" was the misleading name for the now-extinct marsupial known as the Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger. The Thylacine was essentially a solitary animal, so it did not share its home.

Are the Tasmanian wolf and the Tasmanian tiger the same animal?

They are not related. They are both mammals, and that is where the similarity ends. Thylacines (the correct name for Tasmanian wolves) were marsupials. They are now extinct. They had a pouch in which the young developed after birth. Gray wolves are placental mammals. They have a longer gestation period than thylacines, and the young are much more developed when born.
