No.
Resistance is normally capped at 75%. If you have +10% max resistance, it's instead capped 85%. That's all max resistance does.
Absorb is different. It reduces the damage you take by a certain amount and it gives you that damage back as life.
As for +absorb and %absorb, it just depends on how much damage they're dealing. If you take 100 damage (after resistance), the 20% and the +20 are equivalent. If it's more damage, the 20% is better. If it's less damage, the +20 is better.
