She didn't save Smith and she was a little girl. The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

It is highly unlikely that John Smith and Pocahontas ever actually met. She was very young when Smith first came to the Americas. He was off hunting for gold and other treasures to plunder by the time John Rolfe came to the colony. Smith returned to England where he puclished his outrageous book trying to drum up support to get him back to America. John Rolfe, on the other hand stayed at the colony and worked to make it prosper, married Pocahontas, and took her to England, where she died.

Is capt john smith and john wolf the same person in the story of Pocahontas?

You're probably referring to John Rolfe, who should not be confused with John Smith. Captain John Smith was the colonial governor who was captured. He was released by Powhatan, perhaps after intervention by Powhatan's 12-year-old daughter Pocahontas. John Rolfe is the English gentleman whom Pocahontas later married.
