Is ethers broadcastTransaction same as web3js sendSignedTransaction method ? Does it emit events ? If yes, how ?

Hello everyone,
Since web3js is getting sunset soon ( #4921 (comment) ) , I'm working on migrating my server code from web3js ( v1 ) to ethers ( v6 ) .

First Question
Is ethers's broadcastTransaction method similar to web3js's sendSignedTransaction method ?

Second Question
Now, In my web3js code , first a txn is signed , then the signed txn is broadcasted . I'll share my web3js code snippet and ethers code that I've setup so far.

` const provider = new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('polygon-mumbai-infura-url');
const web3 = new Web3(provider);

    // Set up the account
    const account = web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount(privateKey);

    // Set up the transaction parameters
    const fromAddress = account.address;
    const toAddress = '0xreceiveraddress';
    const amount = web3.utils.toWei('0.0001', 'ether'); // Specify the amount of Matic to send

    const transactionObject = {
      from: fromAddress,
      to: toAddress,
      value: amount,
      gas: 21000, // Standard gas limit for Matic transfers
      gasPrice: '10000000000', // Adjust the gas price as needed
      nonce: await web3.eth.getTransactionCount(fromAddress)
    };

    // Sign the transaction with the private key
    const signedTransaction = await account.signTransaction(transactionObject);

    // Get the raw transaction data
    const rawTransaction = signedTransaction.rawTransaction;

    // Send the signed transaction
    web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(rawTransaction)
    .on('transactionHash', (hash) => {
      console.log('Transaction Hash:', hash);
    })
    .on('receipt', (receipt) => {
      console.log('Transaction Receipt:', receipt);
    })
    .on('error', (error) => {
      console.log('Transaction Error:', error);
    });

`

`
const signAndSendSignedTxn = async () => {
// Create a new wallet instance
const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(PRIVATE_KEY, provider);
const etherVal = ethers.parseEther("0.0001");
// Retrieve the chainId from the provider
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
const chainId = network.chainId;
const transactionCount = await provider.getTransactionCount(ADDR, "pending");
console.log("transaction count :",transactionCount);
console.log("etherVal :",etherVal);
const feeData = await provider.getFeeData();
console.log("feeData :",feeData);
const txn = {
from: ADDR,
to: "0xreceiveraddress",
value: etherVal, // Specify the amount of ETH to send
chainId: chainId,
nonce: transactionCount,
gasLimit:21000,
maxFeePerGas: feeData.maxFeePerGas,
maxPriorityFeePerGas: feeData.maxPriorityFeePerGas
}
// Sign the transaction
const signedTxn = await wallet.signTransaction(txn)
console.log("signedTxn :",signedTxn);
const receipt = await provider.broadcastTransaction(signedTxn);
console.log("receipt logged :",receipt);
}
signAndSendSignedTxn()

`

you can see that my ethers code doesn't have event emitted setup like my web3js code , how can I setup my ethers code similar to my web3js code
