Compared to what? I'd say yes.
No, it's TP.
There is a large dose of dynamic content, which is more SB, but overlall it's TP. It's basically EQ2 + dynamic content. (crude description but should be pretty accurate).

From what I've seen, it doesn't look to be a sandbox game, which is great. I don't wanna see this game flop in 3 months.
I would describe it from what I know as open world non linear TP, with sandbox elements.
Like the oher poster said, kind of like EQ2 but without the zoneing (unless you enter instances).
You have only to look up my history on these forums to know how pro-sandbox I am.
That said, this game isn't sandbox. If there are sandbox elements they are "trace elements". That said, I'm already guilded and looking forward to beta and launch of this title.
