By consenting to anything the police ask you, you are waiving your rights. The Supreme Court ruled that the police do not have to inform you of all your rights (just your Miranda rights when being placed under-arrest) nor do they have to be honest when trying to get you to waive your rights. A good lawyer might could argue that probable cause wasn't established so the search is inadmissible, but chances are slim that a Judge will buy it.

Is giving consent to search a home the same as a search warrant?

NO, it isn't. A search warrant limits the scope of a search. Once you have consented to a search, you have placed yourself outside the protections of the fourth amendment! There is no longer any requirements of reasonability and you will likely be prevented from supressing any resulting evidence later on. NEVER consent to a search!
