Was the mutazili Ibn Abi Dawud who went against Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal in the trial different to the Ibn Abu Dawud who was a hadith scholar & son of the famous hadith scholar Abu Dawood?

Nah, you're thinking about Ibn Abi Du'ad دؤاد, not Ibn Abi Dawudداود.
-
Also, Abu Dawood is one of Imam Ahmad's main students, so it wouldn't make sense for his son to be a judge at the time of the Mihnah

Jazakhallah khairan for the clarifications:)
