No, they are not the same size.
Only Civic Master cylinders will bolt up. For others, you must bend brake lines.

yes it is a worthy upgrade when upgrading brakes. swapping out your stock bb and mc for a larger one will increase the amount of brake fluid transferred through your brake lines and increasing pedal feel. don't forget, dot 4 is your friend

Don't be scared about bending brake lines. You wont have to bend
them as much as everyone makes it sound.

Do a search with "Master Cylinder" as the title. A very informative thread comes up.

Here I did it for you:
