It's not possible to count the words in any language, because there is no universal definition of what a word is. But most estimates place the number between 40,000 and 160,000words (which is the same range for almost all other languages).

Note: English is an exception. It has the largest number of words of any language in the world, estimated at 170,000 to 250,000 words. No language has more words than English.

Are Portuguese and Spanish interchangeable?

No. A person who learned Spanish won't be able to understand Portuguese (unless he learned Portuguese separately), and vice versa. Spanish and Portuguese sound quite similar, and many of their words are the same or very similar; you can notice that they have a common origin. But there are enough differences to cause this situation (that people can't understand one another).
