    Welcome new contributor. Every power series ring over a regular Noetherian ring is a regular Noetherian ring. Every regular Noetherian ring is normal.

    @JasonStarr But normal means integrally closed in its field of fractions, which isn't being asked.

    @WillSawin. I read the question in the title of the post. I see that the OP asks a different question in his post than is in the title of his post.

No. Let $ell$ be a prime invertible in $k$ and consider



$$x= s (1+ t/s)^{1/ell} = s + frac{t }{ell} - frac{(ell-1) t^2}{ 2s ell^2} + frac{ (ell-1) (2ell-1) t^3}{ 6 s^2 ell^3} + dots in k[s,s^{-1}][[t]] $$



Clearly it does not lie in $k[s][[t]]$. But we have $$x^ell = s^{ell} (1+t/s) = s^ell + s^{ell-1} t$$ so it satisfies a monic polynomial equation over $k[s][[t]]$ (and even $k[s,t]$).

    No. Let $ell$ be a prime invertible in $k$ and consider



    $$x= s (1+ t/s)^{1/ell} = s + frac{t }{ell} - frac{(ell-1) t^2}{ 2s ell^2} + frac{ (ell-1) (2ell-1) t^3}{ 6 s^2 ell^3} + dots in k[s,s^{-1}][[t]] $$



    Clearly it does not lie in $k[s][[t]]$. But we have $$x^ell = s^{ell} (1+t/s) = s^ell + s^{ell-1} t$$ so it satisfies a monic polynomial equation over $k[s][[t]]$ (and even $k[s,t]$).
