If I put one standard spoonful of sugar in like tea or coffee, is that the same as 1 tsp?

Standard spoonful as in what you put at your placemat for dinner.0

No. Spoons can vary in size. Best wait to measure sugar is weight it.0

That's closer to 1 Tbsp

Teaspoon, soup spoon, desert spoon, tablespoon (serving spoon). All different. Id use a measuring spoon or weigh to be more accurate.0

Technically correct answer: Always use a 1 tsp measuring spoon and/or weigh the sugar to the gram on a scale.
More practical answer: It's probably somewhere between a tsp (~15 calories) and a tbsp (~45 calories)...So call it 30 calories, and if you're +/- 5-10 calories, realize it's not likely to have a significant long-term impact and the variances will probably even out over the long term (some days you'll be a little short, some you'll be a little long). Provided, of course, you're not drinking 10 cups of coffee per day.0
