No. No mountain on Earth is even close to that height. Mount Vesuvius has an elevation of 4,203 feet, less than a mile. The tallest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest, is 29,029 feet or 5.5 miles high.

The eruption column of the 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius reach a height of about 20 miles. This was not part of the mountain but a plume of ash and gas.

Was vesuvius eruption the same as 20 nuclear bombs?

it might or might no be, one would have to know the yields of the 20 bombs as well as which eruption of vesuvius you are asking about. there is no such thing as a "typical" nuclear bomb yield or volcanic eruption.
