Let F and G be sheaves on a toplogical space X such that there is an
isomorphism Fx=Gx on every stalk with x in X. Is F necessarily
isomorphic to G? Or do I have to assume that there is a morphism of
sheaves from F to G inducing all the isomorphisms on the stalks?

No.

Yes.

On the circle there's a sheaf whose stalks are all Z
but each non-zero component of its espace etale winds around
twice. It's not isomorphic to the constant sheaf but it
has isomorphic stalks.
