In most things, No. Powdered sugar has cornstarch in it and has much less sweetening for the same amount.

Clarification:

Powdered (confectioners) sugar has only a minimal amount of cornstarch, which really doesn't affect the sweetness. The cornstarch is added to prevent the powdered sugar from lumping.

But, as the answer above states, it usually cannot be used as a substitute for granulated sugar since it can result in the recipe not turning out as well.

Yes, you can use caster sugar instead of granulated sugar. However, be careful on the measurements. Use a little less caster sugar. Caster sugar is finer granulated sugar. It is not as fine as powdered sugar, but it is in between granulated and powder. Caster sugar dissolves more easily,so it is very beneficial in making meringues.
