What is the role of the adversarial system in criminal and civil trails?

The short answer is yes, although in Criminal cases it is a little bit different. The difference is that in the criminal case the State is represented by the prosecutor who has a duty not specifically to win the case but rather to seek justice. This would mean that the prosecutor has an obligation to represent the interests of the defendant as well and if the prosecutor knows or has reason to believe the defendant is in fact not guilty the prosecutor must consider that issue in pursuing the case.

Are a prosecutor and district attorney the same?

Prosecutor is a generic term to describe the official, usually employed by the executive authority of a place, to enforce criminal laws through coordination with the police. In the American criminal justice system, the prosecutor decides what cases should be tried in court and presents "the people's" case. "DA" usually stands for "District Attorney", which is a more-specific term for a prosecutor. A District Attorney is normally an independently elected official who performs the role of prosecutor for a given area. Prosecutor is general; DA is specialized.
