Most would say no but some same yes.
Traditionally the two people named James who were apostles named James the Greater (brother of John) and James the Less (son of Alphaeus) were different than James the brother of Jesus (also called James the Just and the bishop of the church in Jerusalem) who is described as the author of the book of James.
Critics argue that James the brother of Jesus (James the Just) was also James the Less. James was a very common name at the time (as it is today) so it can be confusing which James is described in The Bible.
Answer 2.
Yes.
In the Holy Scriptures, James the Less, also known as James son of Alphaeus, was the foster son of Joseph the Carpenter and the Virgin Mary, and so foster brother of Jesus. Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; The History of Joseph the Carpenter.
He was given the appellation - 'brother of Jesus'. He is listed as one of the Twelve apostles, Matthew 10:3.
He died during the turmoil as described in Acts 12, dated to the death of Herod in that year - 44 A.D. John son of Zebedee, of whom Jesus decreed was the son of the Virgin Mary, and so decreed in Law to be James son of Alphaeus' foster brother, is marked as such, in Acts 12:2.
James the Just, James son of Zebedee, 'the Lord's Brother' and 'brother of the Lord' - being the same person, is marked as such in Holy Scripture: Gal. 1:19; Gal. 2:9; Acts 12:17; Acts 15; Assumption Gospels; James' Apocalypse; Transitus Mariae, Apocrypha Syriaca; etc. The term brother is one given to signify his character, Acts of Philip.
He is one of the Twelve apostles as listed in Matthew 10:2.
