No. A martyr is a person who is killed for what they believe in. But they don't have to kill or terrorize other people. Terrorists do kill and terrorize people.

That depends on where you live.

It is dependent on your point of view. A martyr would be considered such from their own relgious group, however would possibly be labled a terrorist by the victims society. So technically yes!
-
A martyr is someone who is killed by another person for their beliefs. A suicide bomber could not fall into this group since he is killing himself, not being killed by another.
-
A martyr is a person who willingly suffers death or endues suffering rather than renounce his or her religion, or on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause. A terrorist uses violence or threats to intimidate for a political purposes. Sometimes an extremist can endure death or suffering whilst acting as a terrorist. In this case a person can be both. But they don't necessarily coincide.
