Is "The Sum of All Fears" based on the same Tom Clancy material as Rainbow Six Rogue Spear?

Negative. Rainbow 6 was BioTerrorism, Sum of All Fears is nuclear terrorism.
Edit: Wait, damn, you said Rogue Spear, I thought you were talking rainbow 6. Sum of All Fears was based on Israelis taking hold of a nuclear device, which was used by terrorists against us at the super bowl. In Rogue Spear, the weapon came off the black market, and you save the world. In Sum of all fears, it actually goes off.

Like they didn't make it obvious in the previews that a nuke went off in a densely populated area

He didn't spoil it for you. The movie has been changed from the book quite a bit.

Yup :(

Some changes are to be expected, but when you can tell that a lot has been changed just from the previews it's usually a bad sign.
