A:
The consensus of historians and biblical scholars is that the Books of Daniel and Esther were both novels, written long after the events portrayed, and therefore both Daniel and Esther were both literary creations. Although they were not real people, Daniel is portrayed as living at a slightly earlier period than Esther.
Answer 2
No. Even if the Esther and Daniel stories are taken as history, Esther not only lived after Daniel (by about a century), but she was the only one who lived in Shushan (in modern day Iran). Daniel lived in Babylon (in modern day Iraq) and Persepolis (in modern day Iran).

Do Jews use the same bible Christians use?
No, but they are quite similar. The Christian Old Testament without the Apocrypha contains the same books as the Jewish Bible in a different order and based on a different translation, so some important words are quite different. In addition, the Jewish Books of Daniel and Esther are shorter than their Christian counterparts.
