No, "accomplish" is not a common noun; it is a verb that means to achieve or complete something successfully. Common nouns are words that name general items, people, or places, such as "dog," "city," or "book." In contrast, "accomplish" describes an action rather than naming a specific object or concept.

The two words sometimes have the same meaning therefore they are called homonyms. But there is a difference that you can't use "sort of" in a sense that you like something more or as a negation to something. Ex. "I like this color rather then that one." "Would you rather go by a car or bicycle?" But in other uses they have the same meaning. Ex. "The building was rather large" "The building was sort of large"
"its" is a possessive pronoun when something belongs to 'it'. for example: "this is my action figure. this is its hat" "is" is a passive verb: commenting on existence rather than action. For example: " it is hot" or "it is plastic"
