I guess you mean language; yes it is but with some differences in pronunciation. Those differences between Mexican Spanish and Castilian Spanish are like the differences found between British English and American English.

Broadly; but there are differences of pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary.
- 'c' before 'e' or 'i', for example, also 'z' in general, is pronounced 'th' (as in 'thin') in Castilian, and 's' in Mexican (and Latin American) Spanish.
- There is more of a lilt or song to Mexican Spanish.
- Odd variations include 'vos' instead of 'usted'; 'rancho' for 'hacienda', etc.
- There are a certain few words in Mexican Spanish that come from native languages, for example the word for turkey is "pavo" in Spain and "guajolote" in Mexico (because of the Nahuatl language of the Aztecs)

The differences between Mexican Spanish and Spaniard Spanish are similar to the differences between US English and British English.

No, Italian and Spanish are not the same. The two languages both receive the designation of Romance languages because of descent from Latin. But in their respective geographic spheres in insular and peninsular Italy and Spain they also show the impact of other languages preceding, current with, and subsequent to Latin impacts.
