Are the following sentences correct and do they mean the same?

No, and no. See below.

1-He received a refund by the company. Active voice.

Use "from" instead of "by", and that sentence can work.

2-He was received a refund by the company. Passive voice.

That is wrong. "He was received" means another person(s) received him. That is possible, but it has a completely different meaning. For example:
He was received by a team of government officials and welcomed into the country.

Thank you. I agree that the verb "was received" can mean a person ( people) gave him the money from the company.

In these two examples, I see no difference except 1 is active and the other is passive. The doer is "my aunt."

1-The dinner made by my aunt.

2-The dinner was made by my aunt.

Thank you again.

Thank you. I agree that the verb "was received" can mean a person (people) gave him the money from the company. That's not what it means.

In these two examples, I see no difference except 1 is active and the other is passive. The doer is "my aunt."

1-The dinner made by my aunt.
2-The dinner was made by my aunt.

Thank you again. Unnecessary. Thank us after we help you, by adding the "Thanks" icon to any post you find helpful.

#1 is not a grammatical sentence.

Active: My aunt made the dinner.
Passive: The dinner was made by my aunt.

"He received a refund from the company" is not active. It is passive. The company is the actor here.

When you see the "-ed" at the end of the verb, that's a pretty good clue that it is passive.

The company sent him a refund. He received it.

I suppose you could say a refund was sent to him if you want to use passive voice. (Why?)

"He received a refund from the company" is not active. It is passive.

No, It's active. He (subject) received (verb) a refund (direct object)

2-He was received a refund by the company. Passive voice.

You need "given" here. He was given a refund ...

That is wrong. "He was received" means another person(s) received him.

Thank you. Do you mean that he was received by someone such as people or a person?

In my humble opinion, the sentence doesn't make sense and it's not sound proper. "He was received a refund from the company."

The king was received by the president X and taken on tour. In this sentence, president X received the king.

Thank you all for helping me.

He was received by a team of government officials and welcomed into the country.

I think you've misunderstood. What you've quoted refers only to "He was received" (which is possible), and not to "He was received a refund by the company", which is wrong.

Yes.

Right. See above.

The king was received by the president X and taken on a tour. In this sentence, president X received the king.

Right.

Thank you all for helping me.

You're welcome.
