Do the terms Desert Storm and the Gulf War refer to the same thing?

No. The term Desert Storm comes from the name of the main offensive, codenamed Operation Desert Storm. So Desert Storm was just the name of the first offensive action carried out by the Coalition forces during the Gulf War.
People use the term gulf war because it is easier to say and easier to remember. It's also easier to SPELL. But for historical accuracy: 1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) 2. Operation Desert Storm (January and February 1991) 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003 to present)

Are middle ages and medieval times the same?
The Middle Ages and medieval times are the same thing. The word medieval is defined as the adjectival form for Middle Ages, and comes from Latin words meaning middle ages. One thing to remember, however, is that while a given historian usually does not distinguish between the meanings of the two terms, historians disagree with each other about the dates of the period. So one historian might say the terms Middle Ages and medieval times both refer to the times from 476 to 1453, and another might say they both terms refer to the times from from 1066 to 1485. There is a link below to an article on the Middle Ages.
