Puritans were a particular type of Protestant. The rebellion against the authority of the Roman Catholic Church produced many new varieties of Christianity, all of which are Protestant since they all came about as a result of a protest against the abuses of the existing church. But they are not all the same thing. Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians are all forms of Protestants.

No, Puritanism was a specific religious movement within Protestantism in 16th and 17th century England. Puritans sought to reform and purify the Church of England, while Protestantism refers to the broader Christian movement that broke away from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century.
