C sharp major has seven sharps, C D E F G A and B are all sharped.

C sharp minor has four sharps, those are F♯, C♯, G♯ and D♯. For the harmonic minor, the B is raised to B♯ (both ascending and descending). For the melodic minor both A and B are raised ascending but those sharped notes are naturalised in the descending form of the scale (the same as the natural minor).

The enharmonic equivalent is D flat major (with five flats); Bb, Eb, Ab, Db and Gb - which is generally used more often than C sharp major - but ironically D flat minor has six flats and a B double-flat in it's key signature, which is certainly cumbersome.

The same scenario happens with G sharp and A flat. G sharp major has 6 sharps and an F double-sharp and A flat major has four flats, but G sharp minor has five sharps and A flat minor has seven flats, very weird, but true!

Is the A note a B sharp?

No, the A is not the same as B sharp. B sharp would be the C note since there are no music notes between B and C. The C note would only be called a "B sharp" if C sharp is used in a key, since proper music note naming only allows for one note of each base name ("accidental" notes excluded). So rather than have two types of C notes, you would have a type of B note and a type of C note.
