Does proportional and congruent mean the same thing?

Proportional means corresponding in size or amount to something else/having a constant ratio to another quantity.

Congruent means identical in form; coinciding exactly when superimposed.

No.
"Proportional" means the same shape.
"Congruent" means the same shape AND the same size.
