John the Baptist baptised Jews for forgiveness of sins. He was never a follower of Jesus, although the Gospels say that he foresaw the coming of Jesus.
John, son of Zebedee, was a disciple and apostle of Jesus in the gospels. Many believe that he was the author of the fourth gospel, which is consequently known as John's Gospel. The gospel authors are generally called the 'evangelists'.
Others point out that the fourth gospel was written anonymously and was only attributed to John late in the second century, on the basis of speculation. They say that the name of the fourth evangelist remains unknown.

No, he is not. His theology and LDS theology differ in many areas. According to LDS, people pre-exist in the spiritual realm before being born into the physical realm. LDS also believe in the possibility of being re-incarnated.

There are other theological differences.
