Sudo vs Su with specific usage on Debian

Question

Are:

sudo -i and su - functionally the same, both should give fresh root shells with root's environment right?

If so are sudo -s and su the same?

Thanks

Relevant, maybe even a dupe: Is there ever a good reason to run sudo su? — terdon, Nov 09 '22 at 15:38

No, for sudo you use your password. For su you use root user password.
