Isn't MacOS Linux?
No, but they are somewhat similar. macOS is based on freeBSD which is based on research unix.
Linux is not based on unix but it was written to resemble unix very closely and work similar to it. There’s a lot of intercompatibility but they have different heritages.

No. MacOS has ties closer to BSD.
