No, they exist as symbients of each other. Work robs me of my energy personally. Therefore, I believe work requires energy to survive. But they are not the same. One just needs the other and vice versa. I am not sure what logic you would use that they are one and the same.

No, though they are measured with the same units. Work is energy applied to a mechanical system. It implies that energy has been transferred, and often, transformed. Work is calculated as force x distance.
The energy it takes to accelerate a car is work. In this case, the mechanical energy of the engine is converted into the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle. The energy required to keep the car moving also does work, but that energy is dissipated as frictional heat, air turbulence, etc.

No. Work is mass times distance moved. I.e. Energy put to some use.
