Yes. A sharp and B flat are the same pitch. However, they are notated differently, and used differently, in accordance with the effect required by the composer.

What does it mean when a sharp and a flat are in front of the same note?

Offhand, I would say that is a misprint. However, a natural and flat means to return to a normal flat note after a double-flat. For example, suppose you are in a key with B-flat in the key signature, but you have an E-flat diminished chord, which includes B-double-flat. After that you have a regular B-flat. The natural cancels the double-flat, and the single flat returns to the usual note. After a double-sharp, a natural and sharp would do the same thing.
