No, they are not the same thing. Clorox bleach is a solution of either sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) or calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2). Household ammonia is an ammonia solution, or NH3. If you mix ammonia and bleach, you will produce toxic fumes.

Bleach is just the generic/general name of the chemical/solution.... Clorox is a brand name for a company's version of the bleach solution.

Whether you use Clorox or generic bleach, I believe it still kills about the same amount of germs... However, generic bleach has been known to turn clothes more yellow than white.

So, if you're just gonna disinfect something, like cleaning a bathroom, you could use either. If you're going to use it to whiten clothes, then I would definitely use the Clorox brand.

No. Borax is sodium tetraborate (penta- or deca- hydrate, or rarely, anhydrous), and is a fine white granular material. Clorox bleach is (currently!) a 6% greenish-yellow solution of sodium hypochlorite in water. But, remember, there are other Clorox brand products, besides bleach!
