Let's denote an=(1+1n)n for the members of the sequence.
Because 0<nx<n+1, then
1<(1+1n+1)<(1+1x)(1+1n).
Consequently we get the upper bound
(1+1x)x(1+1x)n+1<(1+1n)n+1=an(1+1n),
and similarly the lower bound
(1+1x)x(1+1n+1)n=an+1(1+1n+1)1.
So (1+1x)x is sandwiched between two consecutive entries of the sequence (an) multiplied by terms 1
To answer: Yes, the two limit problems are equivalent.

By the definition of limits.
c=limz(1+1z)z exists if and only if
(sn)nN,(limn(sn)=+)
(s=limn(1+1sn)sn exists and s=c).
