There is a slight difference.
Don't be/get funny with me= don't try to fool me
Example:
Teacher: Why didn't you bring your homework today?
Student: The dog ate it.
Teacher: Don't get funny with me, I don't believe you .

Yea man pretty much. "Being fresh" usually implies defiance.
Another phrase with very similar meaning is "Don't get smart with me."
