mostly, but a guitar has a wider ranger than a violin since it has 6 strings vs 4 on the violin.
Look at a piano keyboard, find the lowest note a violin can play, then find the highest. Then do the same for a guitar. Many individual notes will overlap, but the guitar will have a lower end.

The internationally accepted tempered scale of music means that all concert pitch tuned instruments play the same notes. The notes are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G and additionally either A#, C#, D#, F#, and G# (or these 5 can be called Bflat, Dflat, Eflat, Gflat, and Aflat - respectively). The pattern of the 12 notes will repeat again at what is called the "octave". A "C" note one octave higher than another "C" note is still a "C" note. (This is hard to explain what is meant unless you have a trained ear.)
A violin is a short scale instrument and plays the notes in a higher octave than you would find on a guitar.
All instruments play the same notes, and some instruments can also play other semi-tones that are not part of the modern tempered scale.

You can play the same notes, yes, but they are very different instuments. I have played classical violin/fiddle for 10 years now, and just picked up the guitar 2 months ago. My musical background helps, but don't expect to just pick up guitar and understand it based on your violin experiance. But the violin has probably given you a head start on finger strength and flexability and the ability to read and understand music.

Yes, all musical instruments have the same notes. The thing is, not every musical instrument can produce them.
Notes are a function of the frequency of the soundwave, known as hertz (Hz). The limit of human hearing ranges from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the typical violin has a range from about 1000 hz to 12,000 hz (if you are a VERY good player), guitar has a frequency response of about 200 hz to about 8,000 hz.
It is important to know that very few speakers or amplifiers can get close to the range of human hearing... unless you spend thousands.

it depends on what key the instrument was originally made in and what key you have it tuned in
