No, there was John the Baptist (who was be-headed to appease a harlot), and there was another John, who was an Apostle of Jesus.
2 different Johns.

No. John wrote the Gospel of John, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, and Revelation. As far as I know John the Baptist has nothing written. Although, that would be cool if they found something!

NO!
Our good friend, John the Baptist, lost his head shortly after he baptized Jesus.
If you read through all those books written by a John, in the New testament, you will see that he wrote the full story of Jesus life, and then acted in the 'apostleship' capacity, in giving his counsel in 1, 2, and 3 John, later in the New Testament.
John the Baptist, on the other hand, was that John that John the apostle, spoke of, in John Chapter 1, wherein he spoke of John [the baptist] being sent to bear witness of that Light [the Light being Jesus].
One was sent to PREPARE the way through baptism; the other performed his great work POST Jesus earthly life.

No,
the book of 1st John,
is traditionally held to have been written by John the Evangelist,
John the Evangelist (? - c. 110; ×××× × "The LORD is merciful", Standard Hebrew Yoḥanan, Tiberian Hebrew YôḥÄnÄn) is the name used to refer to the author of the Gospel of John and the first epistle of John. Traditionally he has been identified with John the Apostle. The identification with the author of the second and third epistles of John and the author of the Book of Revelation is debated (see John the Presbyter and John of Patmos).
John the Baptist (Hebrew: ×××× × ××××××, Yohanan Ha'Matbil, also called John the Baptiser, or Yahya the Baptiser) was a 1st century Jewish preacher and ascetic regarded as a prophet by four religions: Christianity, Islam, Mandaeanism, and the Bahá'à Faith. The title of prophet is asserted in the Synoptic Gospels, the Qur'an, and the Bahá'à Writings.
According to Luke 1:36, he was a relative of Jesus, though Mandaeans dispute this claim. He is also commonly referred to as John the Forerunner or Precursor because Christians consider him as the forerunner of Christ. In Mandaic he is called Yihja jahane.

no, John the baptist was Jesus cousin. The other John was one of Jesus' disciples who wrote John, 1 John, 2 John and Revelation. John the baptist was beheaded. John survived being boiled in oil and died on an island prison.

No, that is highly unlikely. John the Baptist died before Jesus did, and 1 John was written well after that.
