No, Road. They are different questions. You can see that they are different questions by reading them.
You can also see that they are different questions by identifying that, given the same data set, they will return different answers. Given that a man named RoadRunner79 exists, but is not the same person that went streaking through Shanghai at noon today, the answer to "is there someone who went streaking through Shanghai at noon today?" is "yes", while the answer to "did RoadRunner79 go streaking through Shanghai at noon today?" is "no".
This is not complicated.
Different answers do not indicate a different question. The logic will follow if valid either way with the same premises. You can insert equivalent variables, for the data if you like, the conclusion will still follow in the same manner.
Your conclusions and explanations also seem to be inconsistent. Going from the general (anyone) to the specific (particular someone) gives different answers to the same premise.
Take the following syllogism
Subject X is claimed to have done action Y.
Y may either be true or false.
There are a couple of conclusion one can make from this depending on if Y is true or false. X does not exist is not one of them.
