: is the fitting for a co2 cannister the same in the usa as in england.
Yes - it's commonly called the ASA "Air Source Adaptor".
:also can a co2 cannister be used for compressed air.
No, compressed air needs a regulator. It's stored as a gas in tanks that are usually rated at 3000psi or 4500psi and then regulated down to usually 800psi. CO2 is stored as a liquid and it's pressure is based on temperature and %fill. Here's a chart and explanation:
