Peanuts are not nuts, but they are often processed using the same factory lines as tree nuts, and thus there's a risk of cross-contamination. So if you are allergic to peanuts (or vice versa), it's usually better to just avoid both peanuts and tree nuts. Like I just tell people I'm "allergic to nuts" even though it's one specific tree nut I have an allergy to, and not the rest. I do let myself eat Wonderful Pistachios (and only that brand), specifically because they're supposed to be processed separately from other nuts and tree nuts, at least according to some article I found online a while back.
