No they're not. But they're often confused, by the airlines because they tend to print the e-ticket number on the itinerary.
The airline creates an itinerary, a list of where you're going when, and gives it a reference number called a PNR (passenger name record) or simply booking reference. This is a 6 character code of letters, numbers or both. e.g. GDX6BY
The e-ticket is issued separately. Like in the same way they used to have to send you a paper ticket - so, it's not always given at the time you make your booking.
BA however, do the e-ticket very fast, so I think you get an email that has both your itinerary and e-ticket reference on them.
You almost never need your actual e-ticket number. It's a long string of numbers (12 or so I think) - and it's stored in your booking, so the airline only tend ever to ask for your booking reference or PNR.
Some airlines also insist you take a printed copy of your e-ticket receipt... but if you checked in online, this is irrelevant, but it's a good idea to print your e-ticket and itinerary just in case.
I always get the PNR booking reference, and text it to myself. Then, when I get to the airport to check in, either at a kiosk, or a desk, it's always to hand. Lots of people do this... so you won't be alone!
Have a great flight!

No, an itinerary is different from an electronic ticket. An electronic ticket contains a ticket number and all the details on your ticket, like the fare and the taxes, the fare basis, the validity, the baggage allowance, the fare calculation, the form of payment, the restrictions, the date and place of issuance and the itinerary. On the other hand, the itinerary contains only the schedule of your flight, the seat number and meal (if any), and the status of your reservation (whether your booking is confirmed, waitlisted, etc.). The check-in agent at the airport would need to see your electronic ticket and your e-ticket number on your ticket should match the e-ticket number in the computer for you to be accepted on the flight.

An itinerary is your schedule. The e-ticket is a term used when you don't have a paper ticket and the airline is holding your reservation in their database. If you go to the ticket counter and present your government ID then they will hand you a boarding pass (your paper ticket) and then you present this at security and then again to board the plane. The itinerary is only for your personal use and to give to family and friends so that they know what your travel plans are and can find you in case of emergency.

An itinerary is a list of where you are going to stop at and what times and etc.
An e-ticket means electronic ticket. You probably bought your ticket online. Some airlines will let you check-in online the day before departure and print out your ticket.
