No, they are not the same. However, both contain sodium which will induce water retention.

NO, MSG-Mono sodium Glutamate-is used in mainly in Chinese cooking as Flavor enhancer and excess use of it is not healthy.
IODIZED salt is one where Iodide (iodine) salt are mixed to the regular table salt. The Iodine helps in prevention of Goiter, a disease caused due to Iodine deficiency. Though it is regularly added to all commercial table salts, but some experts believe that excess of it could cause other health problems

They both work the same in the body since they are both actually sodium, or "salt". Taste is the only difference. MSG is the only artificially created substance for which we have taste buds for. Wierd, but true, according to my college biology professor. The taste buds can't detect anything else except MSG, but MSG doesn't appear in nature. And some people have a sensitivity to MSG. We also have taste buds just for salt, but it is a natural substance.

MSG is an additive that leaves you feeling hungry after a short period of time and is also not good for you and salt is sodium also not very good for you but not bad if only used in moderation.
