The meaning of the prefixes is the same (negation the adverb), but they are still different prefixes.
I am from india and not a native english speaker
I do often hear people introducing themselves like hello everyone This is james is it an acceptable form in native english The phrase who's in? does exist in very informal english, at least in american english It is equivalent to saying who wants to participate in x with me? it is not used very often, at least in my experience

I am on it in your first example sounds like a shortened version of i’m on the case, a colloquial way of saying that the speaker is dealing with it In the context of some kind of dispute, as in your second example, they’re at it again means that they have started doing again whatever it was that was a component in the dispute. 'i'm' is merely a contraction of 'i am' A contraction is a shortened version of the written and spoken forms of a word, syllable, or word group, created by omission of internal letters (actually, sounds)
