Is Latin from Roman Empire the same as Latin used today?
Yes and no. In the days of the Roman Empire, there were two distinct forms of the Latin language. They were Classical Latin and Vulgar Latin. Classical Latin was the written form, used on inscriptions, poetry, literature, documents, and anything else that was written down. Because it was written down and there are thousands of examples of it, it has survived into modern times. Vulgar Latin, on the other hand, was the spoken language and rarely if ever written down. This register of the language is truly dead. However, its legacy lives on in the Romance Languages. Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian, Catalan, and many others are directly descended from the spoken Vulgar Latin of ancient Rome. So yes, today's Latin is basically the same as the written form as it was used in ancient times, but the everyday language of the typical Roman was quite different.

Do Portuguese and Italian come from french and spanish?
Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, Romanian, and a few others all come from Vulgar Latin. A few Thousand years ago, during the golden years of the Roman Empire, Latin was the most widely spoken language in the world. This was because of the Roman Empire's sheer size and influence. Latin is a very complex language, so throughout the empire, vocabulary and dialects varied. Eventually, Vulgar Latin emerged. Vulgar Latin favored the use of prepositions to express location, possession,ect.. and abanoned the Latin Case System, which used word endings to express things like subjects, objects, and possesion. This is the key difference between Traditional Latin and Vulgar Latin, and for that matter, the difference between most modern romance languages and Traditional Latin. (Romanian still uses a case system) Vulgar Latin developed dialects within itself which have evolved away from each other and have become modern romance languages EDIT: Not only this, but French and Italian actually came before Spanish and Portuguese. French is from the early 900's, then came Italian/Tuscan around 960 (or maybe even a bit earlier). Spanish didn't come along till after 1000, and Portuguese hadn't come till after 1300. And Italian came from the Tuscan dialect (which is purely Latin-derived), not from French or Spanish. Spanish came after Italian.
