Are the ancient Egyptian writing and hieroglyphics the same thing?
Not exactly. Not all Egyptian writing was hieroglyphic, and not all hieroglyphic writing was Egyptian. Hieroglyphics is a general term for picture-based writing systems, and the ancient Egyptians were not the only people to invent such a system. Ancient Mayan and Luwian (a language of Asia Minor) were also written using hieroglyphs (which looked very different from the Egyptian kind). At the same time, the ancient Egyptians had other writing systems. Hieratic, a form of cursive writing using ink on papyrus, existed alongside hieroglyphics from the very beginning. Another cursive form of writing, demotic, later developed from hieratic. Ultimately all of these writing systems were replaced by the Coptic alphabet, which was derived from the Greek alphabet.
