You're talking about something altogether different to the sensus divinitatis which, as stated first by Calvin, gives us the sense to detect the divine.
Yes. I think that they're the same thing.
Morality might have been dictated to humanity by way of the sensus divinitatis, but I don't see what's so amazing about this. It still suffers from basically all of the problems as the sensus divinitatis since it allegedly derives from it, and this is evident; theists can't come to a conclusion about objective morals much like they can't come to a conclusion about the nature of god(s). A "moral sense" is simply a particular case of what the sensus divinitatis can allegedly do. It fails epically though.
