Yes, in Japanese you would translate and pronounce the two as アルトリア (Arutoria). Japanese makes use of a very limited syllabary, so it's not very compatible with Germanic languages like English that allow for complex syllables. You could say Artoria, Altria, or Altoria and they'd all translate to Arutoria as Japanese has no other way of accomodating those words. Still, that's only a non-issue if you only read and speak Japanese. In English, Artoria closely resembles the pronunciation (Are-toh-ryah) while using Arthur as a root whereas Altria just goes off to (All-tree-ah), making it really awkward.

To answer your other question, it's quite common to just refer to her as Saber. She's very rarely referred to as Artoria through dialogue, and she's well known as the original Saber. If one simply says "Saber" without any context most would just assume they're talking about Artoria.
