Do my computer and phone have the same IP address if they’re connected to the same wifi? If so, how do the websites distinguish my computer from my phone?

an IP address is an address given to your access point to the internet. If all your devices are hooked to the internet through that router (connected to the internet), they all share the same IP address (outside your home). That is called a routable address. You actually have another small network of addresses on your home’s side of the router. Those are also IP addresses, but they’re referred to as non routable addresses.
