(N/A) Yes,the temperature of the system and the surroundings are the same when they are in thermal equilibrium.
Thermal equilibrium is defined as a state where two physical systems are in contact through a diathermal wall,allowing the transfer of energy as heat,but no net transfer of energy occurs between them.
When two systems are in thermal equilibrium,there is no change in their states,which implies that their temperatures are equal.
This concept is governed by the $Zeroth \ Law \ of \ Thermodynamics$.
