The first assertion is false with the standard meaning of linear equivalence of divisors. For example, two distinct lines are smooth and linearly equivalent but intersect. Distinct fibers of a holomorphic map to are disjoint, so no map can have these lines as the fibers over and . The ratio of defining sections gives only a meromorphic map, with an indeterminacy point at . The assertion becomes true if the two sections have no common zero.
The requested cohomological conclusion is nevertheless valid. Linearly equivalent divisors define isomorphic holomorphic line bundles, and their Poincaré-dual Dolbeault classes both equal the First Chern class of that bundle. Hence in .
