No.
Simple reason is that that Everclear is 190 proof (95%). 100% ethanol does not exist outside of specially prepared laboratory conditions (called "anhydrous") because it naturally attracts water from the air until it reaches an equilibrium state at 96.5%
Moonshine is simply the term for illegal home-made liquor. Generally it's anywhere from 40-60% (80-120 proof) though some clever shiners have rigs that will put out 93-96% alcohol...though if they're going through that much trouble, they'll cut it so the final product is drinkable.

I think it is, because Everclear is 90% alcohol, and Moonshine is meant to be 100% alcohol - properly made moonshine should be stronger than everclear.

I think they are pretty much the same thing. I think EverClear is just a brand name for what the oakies call "moonshine". Its just pure, unadulterated firewater.

No, since everclear is like 180 proof, which is almost pure alcohol.
