Are acked lost and acked unseen the same thing?
What is the difference between acked lost, acked unseen, and previous segment not captured? Also, how do you filter for them?

The "acked lost" and "acked unseen" indicate the same event:
An ACK was seen for which the segment it acknowledges is not in the capture file.
You can filter on this using either
tcp.analysis.ack_lost_segment
or
_ws.expert.message == "ACKed segment that wasn't captured (common at capture start)"
"previous segment not captured" means a segment was arriving out of order at the capture point.
It could have been lost or is just arriving late at the capture point. A filter on those is
tcp.analysis.lost_segment
Hope this helps,
