Nope guanciale takes spices in the preparation and has a more unique flavour which reminds me of spanish Jamon Iberico, nothing like like it though.

Ah ok, more flavorful with the spices, but still (at least from the pictures) looks fatty like pancetta. Good addition to the dish ;)
Pancetta will substitute just fine ofc, it's also delicious. Guanciale is just more rich but it's pretty hard to find unless you got an Italian deli nearby.
