Arduino Mega is a development board. It's only a microcontroller that can programmed to do something. Also you can make circuits. Raspberry Pi is a tiny computer with processor (not a microcontroller) that can run an operating system or do some programming stuff with the software integrated. Like a mini computer it has usb ports, hdmi, microsd, but to use it in building some sketches you can't. You'll not be able to upload a program with Arduino IDE. Also it doesn't have such things like digital port or analog ports. The only rows of pins that it has is used the most to connect a display. So Raspberry Pi can't replace an Arduino.

Arduino Mega is definitely the way to go. You can basically do anything with it. I've used it for years. It's programmed with C/C++. Very easy to work with: I bought an Arduino before I learned programming, and used Arduino as I learned it from some books. You can really build anything with the Mega, especially if you're interested in electronics. You can run motors, servos, screens, sensors, etc. Good luck!
