Are the SO(3) defining representation and Spin 1 the same?
$begingroup$
Since the equation
$$langle j,m^prime|J_pm|j,mrangle =sqrt{(jmp m)(jpm m+1)} delta_{m^prime,m+1}$$
holds both for spin 1 (the $underline{1}$ rep for SU(2)) and angular momentum (SO(3)). Does this mean the explicit form of spin 1 generators:
$$S_x=frac{1}{sqrt{2}}
left(begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 1 & 0 \
1 & 0 & 1 \
0 & 1 & 0
end{array}right),quad
S_y=frac{1}{sqrt{2}}
left(begin{array}{ccc}
0 & -i & 0 \
i & 0 & -i \
0 & i & 0
end{array}right),quad
S_z=frac{1}{sqrt{2}}
left(begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0\
0 & 0& -1
end{array}right),$$
can be obtained by a similar transformation from SO(3) generators?
$$
M_{23}=
left(begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & -1 \
0 & 1 & 0
end{array}right),quad
M_{31}=
left(begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 0 & 1 \
0 & 0 & 0 \
-1 & 0 & 0
end{array}right),quad
M_{12}=
left(begin{array}{ccc}
0 & -1 & 0 \
1 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0
end{array}right)
.$$
Sorry to ask such basis questions. I just don't know how to solve the matrix equation $SAS^{-1}=B$.
Further, if it is not, does this mean a same set of algebra usually does not have a unique set of solution? If it is, then they are equivalent; then how could they behave differently, in terms of the global property of two groups SU(2) and SO(3)?

Your spin matrices $S_y$ and $S_z$ are wrong. $S_z$ does not have a $1/sqrt{2}$ in front. $S_y$ is not hermitian as it stands. The $1$ should be replaced by $i$.

You are using two different conventions. While the spin-matrices are in the quantum notation (that is they are Hermitian matrices), the angular momentum matrices are in conventional representation theory notation (they are anti-Hermitian matrices). In order to compare the two, you should multiply the latter by $i$. In this case, the angular moment matrices read
$$
M_{23}=
left(begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & -i \
0 & i & 0
end{array}right),quad
M_{31}=
left(begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 0 & i \
0 & 0 & 0 \
-i & 0 & 0
end{array}right),quad
M_{12}=
left(begin{array}{ccc}
0 & -i & 0 \
i & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0
end{array}right)
.
$$
With this, it is a straightforward exercise to show that
$$ U=left(
begin{array}{ccc}
-frac{1}{sqrt{2}} & frac{i}{sqrt{2}} & 0 \
0 & 0 & 1 \
frac{1}{sqrt{2}} & frac{i}{sqrt{2}} & 0 \
end{array}
right) $$
does the job; e.g., $S_z = U M_{12} U^dagger$ and so on.
$endgroup$

Your spin matrices $S_y$ and $S_z$ are wrong. $S_z$ does not have a $1/sqrt{2}$ in front. $S_y$ is not hermitian as it stands. The $1$ should be replaced by $i$.
