Yes. The two terms are used pretty much interchangeably.
Both are non-specific terms, but air usually refers to atmosphere that is breathable to us, while atmosphere is any pressurized gas environment. Mars and Venus both have atmospheres, but you wouldn't want to breathe the stuff. Both planets have mostly carbon dioxide for atmosphere, so you'd die breathing them. And that's setting aside the fact that the atmospheric pressure on Venus is almost 100 times that on earth, and on Mars, the atmospheric pressure is only about 1/100 that of that here.

What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
Which layer of tha atmosphere contains people and wheather?
The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains people and weather. The troposphere is the only layer of the atmosphere that contains breathable air.

It occurs in the troposhere, the narrowest layer of the atmosphere and it is where all life occurs
The thin layer of air that surrounds Earth is called?
The atmosphere surrounds the earth. It is not a thin layer. It is a very thick layer consisting of various gases.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains no air?
The exosphere, which is Earth's outermost atmospheric layer, contains very few (atmospheric) molecules. It is the last thing separating us and "space" as we know it.
