No, they're telling you that the explosive force is the same in both cases. '45 lbs' is a description of the force, not the weight of the bomb/fireworks.

This is incorrect. First of all, the force from the fireworks is not measured in pounds; even if you're talking about the shock wave, the peak force from that at a given point would be measured in psi (pressure), and would vary wildly depending on where you measured it
