No there is a big difference between su and sudo. When there is no username defined, su defaults to super user and gives you unrestricted access to the system
In sudo, the user is permitted to execute a specified command as superuser or any specified user. I did not include technical details on the usage of these commands, but gives you an idea how different they are.
