It is very much the same world. Just a different place, and a different time. Though not a direct sequel in the sense that it's a continuation of the Chosen Undead's story, it is a sequel in the sense that both games share a main focus on the undead curse, and story elements like time, light, and dark still hold the same meaning. There are plenty of links that can be drawn between the two, just one of which is the fact that the great soul bearers of Dark Souls 2 hold the Lord Souls from Dark Souls 1. For example, in NG+, you get the Paledrake Soul from defeating Freja, which is used to make the Moonlight Greatsword. I shouldn't have to explain how this relates to Seath.

In regard's to Ornstein's apparent appearance here, there are a number of ways it's possible, but without any references handy, I'm not going to make any wild claims.
