As I recall, MS SQL Server was basically a "fork" of either Sybase 4.9.1 or 4.9.2. I would imagine it is still SQL Server under the hood and still uses Transact SQL as it's procedural language for triggers and such as well as retaining the basic concept of databases/schemas, etc. of Sybase.

Does MS SQL Server have a GUI administration tool? I had thought the main add of MS SQL Server was a GUI tool set and under the hood, it was still much the same.

Since they are looking (presumably) for a programmer not a DBA and assuming your experience with MS SQL Server is programming in Transact SQL, then you might add Transact SQL T/SQL) to your resume and include in a cover letter that you are "..familiar with MS SQL Server Transact SQL which is similar to Sybase Transact SQL..."
