No, a crossbow and a bow and arrow are not the same thing.
- a crossbow fires bolts not arrows, the string is drawn back using a winch, and is fired by pulling a trigger to release the string
- a bow fires arrows, the string is drawn back by hand, and is fired simply by releasing the string from your fingers

Do bow and longbow arrows work with crossbows and do crossbow bolts work with bows and longbows?
No and no. Specifically, arrows for bows are longer and more flexible as a slight flex can improve an arrow's flight, but crossbows would be too powerful and break the arrow. Crossbow bolts/quarrels are far too short to be used correctly in a bow, as a real archer would never partially draw the bow to shoot an arrow, yet a bolt would not be long enough for the archer to draw back to his or her anchor point (that same place on their face they always draw back to, to make shots powerful and consistent).
Are crossbows more accurate then a bow and arrows?
No, a bow and arrow is held vertically and the arrow has to be pulled to shoot the arrow. A cross bow is held horizontally and doesn't need to be pulled, you just pull a trigger. The Crossbow has more power but a Bow and Arrow can reload faster. Just pick the one that suits you the most.
