No, they're very different things, though they might overlap in some cases.
A restraining order is a court order restraining someone from doing some particular thing. That "thing" might be "coming within 300 feet of a particular other person."
A legal separation is, basically, a kind of "trial divorce." It's a general feature that the people involved stop living together, but they don't necessarily have to go out of their way to avoid each other at work or school or whatever (in contrast, a restraining order DOES usually require that). The divorce laws vary considerably from state to state, and sometimes a period of legal separation is mandated before a divorce decree can be obtained.

If you do everything by the book and it's not a frivolous claim and make sure anything sent to the other party is witnessed and witnessed when you put it in the envelope and it has not a single hint of anything other than it's legal purpose. But still don't be surprised if you go to jail anyway and be forced to prove that it's all legal. It's happening more and more, people going to jail for the same thing.

Remember, the restraining order was probably ordered first, just on what the other party said with little if any proof.

I have a Legal separation now I want a divorce?
Legal separation is to the same thing as divorce and is not always a prerequisite to a obtaining a dissolution of marriage (i.e. divorce). Although many of the issues (such as alimony, child support, etc) that would traditionally be dealt with in a divorce were done in your legal separation, you still need to go through the divorce process, starting with filing for divorce. At no point, no matter how long you have been separated, will a legal separation turn into a divorce.
