What does volt ampere measure?

Volt ampere is the unit of apparent power in AC circuits, representing the product of RMS voltage and RMS current regardless of the phase angle.

Is megajoule per second the same as a megawatt?

Yes, one megajoule per second equals one megawatt, measuring the rate of energy transfer.
