Kaidan no Odoru is basically about these group of 3 guys that had really nothing better to do, so they decided that they would try to steal from a local shrine's Offertory Box. They eventually cracked open the lock, only to find it that it's mostly empty since not many people have been donating. They thought they would've been cursed from the day that they started trying out the combination of the lock of the Offertory Box, but nothing really happened. It was then that they came up with their own curse instead, that being "Ohone-sama no Tatari" (curse of "bone"-sama)
So first they spread it around the school they went to. First they wrote "Hone" on all the blackboards, then they dropped random pieces of bone in people's drawers or their bags and so on. Eventually people were frightened by this new curse and started to blame all sorts of things on it. Also due to people's fears, the donations at the Offertory Box has increased significatiantly, until one day they found an envelop with 50,000 yen in it, with a note that said
Please Curse Tanashi Miyoko.

As to if Tanashi Miyoko is indeed the same one from Higurashi, I would say not really. It's indeed that their ideals are very alike, and does share some personality traits, but it really doesn't makes sense why the Higurashi one would be going to school at Shishiboneshi at that time, or the lack of mention of her grandfather which plays a critical role in all these.
My take is that they are the same characters, in the sense of a mascot character, but different worlds.
