Isn't this show, like 40 years later? Isn't the new Starbuck actually a different person with the same call name?

It's both kind of a remake and kind of a continuation, in my opinion. Sort of the same plot but it implies that this is a new peace initiative after the war 40 years ago.

As in the original, there was a prior war between the humans and Cylons. Galactica fought that war with the other battlestars in the fleets and the war ended, with a shakey truce between the two.

The main spine of the plot is the same as the original: Cylons engage a sneak attack after 20+ years of being gone and the humans have become over-confident, which is their undoing.
