What is the same and different about the structures of carbon atoms when all carbon atoms have atomic number 6 but some have mass number 12 and others have 14 as the mass number?

Carbon 12 is abundant and stable.
Carbon 14 is rare and radioactive
Carbon 14 has ever so slightly different chemical properties than Carbon 12 but not so much as anyone but a really particular chemist would notice.

Do carbon 12 and 14 have the same atomic mass?
No. They have different masses, but the same atomic number. Carbon-12 has a mass number of 12 and atomic number of 6, and carbon-14 has a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6. The difference in mass number is due to different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons.
