Not 'practically.' They are 98% the same. Mostly Subaru, actually. Between the FRS and BRZ, the BRZ has a snow button and the radio is unique, as are the logos, front lights, bumper, and exhaust tips. The interior trim may also be a different color.
As for the price, this is because of Trim packages and nothing more. If you find a BRZ that is more expensive, it either has fewer miles or it comes with leather, heated seats, etc. If you don't care about the added stuff, go with the FRS.
As for parts, you could go with your FRS to a scrap yard and start pulling parts from a 2017+ BRZ/86 and not run into many, if any, compatibility issues.
The current generation should run until at least 2022~2023, so parts should not be an issue for at least a decade beyond that. The aftermarket seems solid for these cars, so anything you can't find from Subaru/Toyota should be available from another company.
