No, it is strictly speaking not the same universe since things is changed in the universe if the story need the change.

Concerning reading order some of the first books are really weak and when trying to re-read them in order I had trouble finish Pyramids which I did not like at all. If that was the first time reading the books I would not have continued reading.

I have tried to read the Dresden book but the first book is so weak that I am not tempted to continue. And people tell me that it starts to be good in book 4-5 or so. But I have a hard time reading some bad or medicore books just waiting for it to get good. So one more example were starting in the wrong place does not work.
