"Disguise" = "disfarce".
It is mainly used when the person does not want to be recognized, e.g. an undercover agent. Usually that's not the case when you're wearing a costume at a costume party, for example.
It sounds like they do, but with SLIGHTLY less emphasis than in Portugal. There are some Brazilian and Portuguese pronunciations here: https://pt.forvo.com/word/uma/#pt

So does 'Ela veste uma fantasia' mean that she (usually/normally) wears a costume, rather than that she is wearing one now?
She wears a costume... to the ball.
She wears a costume... at work.
What does she do for her job at Disneyland? She wears a costume.
This exercise is a "Simple Present" one not a "Present Continuous" one.
