A: They mean very different things. Stingy means that you are cheap and ungenerous. If you tipped a waiter $1 on a 50 dollar meal then you'd be stingy. Petty means that you are small-minded, usually in kind of a vindictive way. If I was holding a grudge against you just because of a minor incident a long time ago then I'd be acting petty.

Petty means of small or little importance or someone who overreacts or cares to much about small or unimportant things.

A: petty - de poca/escasa importancia
small - refiere al tamaño de algo
little - también refiere al tamaño de algo, pero en adición :
corto - a little walk/un paseo corto
no mucho - he knows little/ no sabe mucho: sabe poco
un poco - Have a little respect for my little brother /Ten un poco de respeto para mi hermano menor
pequeña - a little lesson for you/ una pequeña lección part ti

A: Fussy is usually used to describe someone who is very particular or who likes to have things in a certain way. For example, a child who refuses to eat a meal if different types of food are touching would be called a fussy eater. Or if you insisted on wearing only certain types of clothes with a certain color every single day, and therefore it took you a long time to get dressed, you might be called a fussy dresser.
Petty means to be small-minded or vindictive (vendicativo). So someone who keeps on arguing with you simply because they want to be right would be petty. Or someone who keeps being mean to you because you accidentally spilled coffee on them years ago would be petty. Generally, if someone is petty, they get upset about small things, or refuse to let things go.
So someone can be fussy (very focused on small or non-important details), without being petty (being mean or rude to someone else).
I hope that made sense :)
