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.

How do you notate a sliding sound on a guitar in a musical score?
The convention for a guitar slide is to draw a straight line from the head of the starting to the head of the ending note. The duration of the slide is indicated by the starting note. The ending note indicates how long to hold the final note at the end of the slide.
Usually, the ending note of the slide is plucked separately. If not, put parentheses around the ending note in the notation.
Some guitarists refer to the slide as a "glissando", but the glissando mark is used to mean that every interim note in the slide should be plucked in rapid succession.

What are 2 things that cancel an accidental?
There's 3 types of accidentals, which can cancel eachother, so there's really 3 things that cancel an accidental: Sharp, Flat, Natural
For grade IV flute music (and grade IV music in general), the common keys are those from one sharp to six flats. That would equal the keys G, C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb. However, since you placed this in a college category, it would be a good idea to learn the remaining scales as well. College music programs are bound to incorporate more challenging music. It would certainly help.
