Yep- the tuning of the strings and finger spacings are identical. I myself am a violin player, but bought a mandolin and was able to transfer all of my fave violin songs straight over. Some differences are there though- the mandolin has 8 strings (in pairs tuned identically, so you have 2 G strings right next to each other to increase sound), mandolins have frets (yay for perfect tuning) and to be able to class yourself as a mandolin player you need to learn chords too

Generally, the fingerings are the same as the F horn fingerings an octave lower, but not always.
