No, these two chemicals are not the same. The difference is well-explained by the following excerpts from Wikipedia, accessed 2013 Feb 11:"[A generic] chemical formula for sodium laureth sulfate is CH3(CH2)10CH2(OCH2CH2)nOSO3Na. Sometimes the number represented by n is specified in the name, for example laureth-2 sulfate. The product is heterogeneous in the number of ethoxyl groups, where n is the mean. ... The related surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate (also known as sodium dodecyl sulfate or SLS) is produced similarly, but without the ethoxylation step."


Is sodium chloride is soluble in ether?

Sodium chloride is highly polar (ionic in fact) where hexane is very not. The two don't attract at all, so each is insoluble in the other.
