Hello Hannah,
Yes! They are all the same. I assume from what you are saying that you are learning about a case ie ratio decidendi and obiter dicta etc.
If you REALLY are stuck I'll do my best. It's been a long time since graduation in English Law, but email me if you need to under lepontneufdeparis@yahoo.co.uk
Kindest regards

A case brief is usually a very short summary of the main points of a case; facts, issues, judgments e.t.c. A case note or case analysis can often require more analysis of other issues surrounding the case. It really depends on the wording of the question set so check with a tutor.

If you are referring to the concept of briefing your cases in law school, then yes, I have seen those three terms used synonymously.

Umm not really. It all depends on the level of law, and on the individual offices/chambers/courts too, to a point.
