Nope, he doesn't. Or only a little. Maybe they're distant cousins?
But the two of them being the same person wouldn't make very much sense as far as I can see. Wouldn't he have recognised her?

Remember that the Faceless of Braavos do not openly show recognition of one another in public (part of their training) It would be a simple enough feign for Syrio Forel like Jaqen H'ghar, as would changing his appearence. Remember that Syrio told Arya that there was only god, and that was Death - only the Faceless of Braavos believe this.
