No. The Hebrew Bible consists of the books of the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, but in a different order.

The Christian bible consists of the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) but also those books of the New Testament relating the accounts of Jesus Christ and the early Christian Church.

Christians refer to the Hebrew Bible as the 'Old' testament or 'old covenant' as they represent to a Christian God's old covenant with us for redemption through sacrifice. The new testament or new covenant represents the new contract between God and us in redemption through Jesus. The Old Testament is still very important to the Christian, however, as it relates the foundation of Christianioty as we know it - and, of course, it was the 'Bible' used by Christ himself.

Correction:

The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach which is made up of the Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), and K'tuvim (Writings). The Christian Old Testament is based on the Tanach but was thoroughly altered to support the teachings of Christianity. Therefore, Judaism and Christianity do not share a bible in any way.

No, but they are quite similar.

Is the Hebrew Bible the same as the order of English Bible?

There is no such thing as "the English Bible." The There is only a Hebrew Bible, which can be translated into any language, including English. The order of the Books of the Hebrew bible has nothing to do with what language it's translated into. It has more to do with whether it's a Christian Translation or a Jewish Translation. Jewish Translations preserve the original order of the Hebrew Bible. Christian translations usually use a different order, created by the early Church around the 2nd Century of the common era.
