Somebody had told me they are interchangeable? Is this correct?

Will they both produce 8 1/2 x 11

No. "A3" is one of the European paper sizes, 297 x 420 mm, and the
corresponding North American size would be "B", "Tabloid", or
"Ledger" at 11" x 17".

"A4", at 210 x 297 mm, is closer to "US Letter" but it's slightly
narrower and a fair bit longer.
