No, it is not the same thing.

A pharaoh was a king of the combined provinces of ancient Egypt, roughly equivalent to a king (but with added divine attributes and treated as a god). Egypt did have control over parts of other countries for very short periods but never successfully controlled an empire.

An Emperor (or Empress) is strictly someone who rules more than one country, as in the case of the Roman Emperors who ruled a vast empire centred on the Mediterranean Sea; or the British Empress-Queen Victoria who had sovereignty over India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, various African countries, many islands around the world as well as the United Kingdom - in terms of land area the largest empire that has ever existed on earth.

It actually means the same thing, the only difference is that the Pharaoh was the king of Egypt only, but a emperor can mean a king and ruler of any country.

How old dose a pharaoh have to be to be a pharaoh?

The pharaoh system of ancient Egypt was similar to the emperor system of ancient china. It's a family dynasty. Once the ruler dies, the prince must take over as king/pharaoh/emperor. It doesn't matter what age. It's been recorded that when a ruler is too young, he can still be ruler, but is assigned councilmen for wise guidance.
