Not exactly, but they are closely related. Both have the same units, but "work" specifically refers to a TRANSFER of mechanical energy. When "work is done", mechanical energy is transferred from one object to another.

No, energy and work are related but not the same thing. Energy refers to the ability to do work, while work is the transfer of energy from one form to another through the application of force over a distance.
