Are they the same thing?

No, mixed spice is, as it says, a mix of different spices, whereas allspice is actually a single spice berry, known by a few other names including pimenta.

Have you got many spices - you can make your own mixed spice. Here's one recipe, but there are plenty of others if you google it.
1 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg
pinch black pepper
