Yes there is a parallel,

Yes, Aslan is definitely meant to be Jesus in Narnia. When he is sacrificed on the stone table, that is meant to resemble God sacrificing his son, Jesus, on the cross for our sins. That's also why the producers chose a lion to portray Jesus because Messiah, which is a name that Jesus is often called, means King and the lion is the "King" of the Animal Kingdom.

The producers did not decide Aslan being a lion...C.S. Lewis did>

Did AD start when Jesus died?

AD started as soon as Jesus was born. It is actually Latin for 'after birth' and BC is Latin for 'Before Christ'. It just happens that they are the same letters and AD is not. It is a very common mistake for people to think AD started after Jesus died. But, think about it. If BC ended after he was born because it would no longer be before Christ, and AD started after he died, there would be some years missing in time for when he was living.In Latin, AD stands for Anno Domini which translates to "year of our lord." It it supposed to start counting from the birth of Jesus.

Largely because it was in CS Lewis mind to write in the form of an allegory. This is a poetic form where the meaning is implied rather than direct. The use of the lion image is a biblical but not very common symbol for Jesus, and refers to the Lion of Judah and the lion in the book of revelation chapter five.
