They are completely different...
Functionalism: Society is viewed as a system – a collection of interdependent parts, with a tendency toward equilibrium. Secondly, there are functional requirements that must be met in a society for its survival. Thirdly, phenomena are seen to exist because they serve a function.
Marxism: It is based on the "struggle of classes" (see more details at the second link).
Internationalism: People who take pride in not only being a citizen of their respective countries, but of being a "citizen of the world".

For best details on functionalism read a bit about Durkheim. Basically, Marxism views each major turning point in history as a result of class antagonism and conflict. Many people make the mistake of reading Marx lightly. To understand it properly you really have to apply yourself as it can get very complicated and is often not treat with the respect it deserves.
Once you get Marx you'll get internationalism.
Good Luck!

babi gave a good outline of each. but you can think of functionalism and internationalism as elements of marxism. and some functionalist and internationalists consider themselves neoMarxists
