Yep it's the same key.  There are two musical voices going on here, and the same note happens to occur in both of them.

To play it, play it the first time and hold, play it again the second time when indicated but now hold it down for the full length that should still be being held over from the first play.

This sort of writing makes more sense on organ, where the hands are on different manuals.  A lot of old music was written for "keyboard", which might be harpsichord, virginal, accordian, or pipe organ rather interchangeably.  when printing was such an expensive proposition, they didn't come out with four different versions of a score.

As others members said, that happens all the time in baroque music which uses different keyboards. Use whatever hand you like, the one that suits you the most.
