Question

Are the phrases "very exciting" and "very interesting" the same

Answer 1

No.

Very exciting means it excites someone.

Very interesting means it is interests someone. It's nowhere the same.

Answer 2

No, because excitement is an emotion. When something is “very exciting” it causes extreme joy. Interest is something that makes you curious. When something is “very interesting” it causes one to seek out more information, which in some scenarios may cause excitement.
