Not really. 'Tetszik' means 'like', szeret means 'love' or 'love doing sg'. We don't use 'tetszik' that often. For example 'Tetszik nekem az a lány.' means 'I like that girl.= I'd like to hang out with her.

'tetszik' means to my liking. Something is to your liking. An idea, an object pl a house, even a person. Something appears to your liking. You don't necessary have an emotional touch. Ez a fiu tetszik. Ezt a fiut szeretem. In the first example he might be good looking or maybe even interesting or kind. He is to my liking. It can be after a moment. Bred Pit teszik nekem. But I would not say I love him or even like him. You say to a person 'szeretlek' when you like/love him/her. When you like doing something you say 'szeretek' Szeretek tancolni. If you love/like the thing , you say szeretem a/az, (szeretem a testveremet), if you like/love a thing you say szeretek egy barna kislanyt , I don't specify you exactly which one. You can also say Tetszik egy barna kislany. In this case she already woke up your interest but you don't love her yet.

Yes and no. If you'd like to say you like or love something/someone, a foood/drink, animal, plant, anything.. say szeret. Szeretek valakit, szeretem a kutyákat, a macskákat, az almát, stb. However, if you see something and would like to say, oh I like it! That's tetszik. Tetszik ez a szín, ez a ruha, stb. They're not equal, but have similar meanings. You can also say tetszik, when you like someone, but things aren't that.. serious. Tetszik is usually used for something visible. Something you like to see, something you think looks good. Szeret is more emotional.
