We are being asked if we made any estimated tax payments in 2019. We did have additional taxes pulled from each paycheck during the year. Is that the same thing?

No ... that is not the same thing.  The extra withholding will be reported on the W-2 box 2 with all the other withholding.

what they mean by 'estimated  tax payments' is if you wrote out a check and sent it to the IRS for your federal return (or similarly for a state return) .... those are not in your W-2 which is why they are asking
