What does an oil sending sensor do?
They "sense" the oil pressure inside the engine. If you have an instrument panel oil pressure gauge the sending unit sends an analog signal to the gauge. If you have an oil pressure "idiot light", the sending unit turns the light on when the oil pressure is low.
Are the oil pressure switch and oil pressure sending unit the same part?
No, a sending unit is for a gauge, and the switch is for a warning light.
