Yes, these are two different words, and using both is not redundant.
to be ashamed means to feel embarrassed or guilty, as in, "I am ashamed that I took money for my work."
to shame means to publicly humiliate someone, i.e. to make them feel embarrassed or guilty, as in, "That journalist was shamed by her online readers for taking money."

The difference is that "ashamed" describes a person who is shamed or shameful, and "shamed" describes the condition of being the object of someone else's shame.

Shamed is what one does to you.
Ashamed is about how you feel about yourself.
Shamed could be punitive, ashamed shows remorse sometimes repentance.
If a person has no shame, then others might view their behavior or conduct as shameful and thus shame them, but the individual who has no shame is not (yet) ashamed of anything they have done or are doing.

"Ashamed" is an adjective meaning "feeling shame", that is, to feel that they have done something wrong. "Shamed" is the past participle of the verb "shame". "To shame" can either mean to cause someone to be ashamed, or to expose someone to censure, or both. In the first sense, it is redundant, so it is reasonable to infer that the second meaning is intended: the person should personally feel that they have done something wrong (ashamed), and other people should feel that this person has done something wrong (shamed).
