MFRA and Acceleration Altitude

Hi all. Am I correct in thinking that Minimum Flap Retraction Altitude and Acceleration Altitude are the same thing ie: the altitude that acceleration is commenced (by lowering the pitch Attitude) and retracting flaps on schedule?
Or is Acceleration Altitude to do with being on a single engine climb to what is usually 800 ft AAL and then level acceleration to flap retraction speeds as distinct from MFRA?
Also, V2+15 is the target climb speed and provides a certain bank angle protection. Can someone provide some more information on this?
Many thanks.
