Block diagram illustrating klippe, window (or fenster), allochthon (gray), and autochthon (stippled) in a thrust-faulted region. Note that the minimum fault displacement is defined by the farthest distance between thrust outcrops in klippe and window.

No, formation mechanism of both of them is different. Sag ponds are small, permanent body of water in a semi-closed or closed depression formed by movement along a strike-slip fault or by mass movement (i.e., landslide) that ponds water from impounded drainage or surface runoff.
A tectonic Window is a geologic structure formed by erosion or normal faulting on a thrust system. In such a system the rock mass (hanging wall block) that has been transported by movement along the thrust is called a nappe.
Are Windows and sag ponds are same?
