Not quite. When used that way, it does express agreement (it's a shortening of "that's fine", as opposed to "I'm fine"), but it usually means the person is not as happy with the agreement as they could be. "Sure" sounds a lot happier. "Certainly" could be either, since it's more formal and therefore doesn't convey as much emotion.

LIKE = keen on, fond of, enjoy
Hate = detest, loathe, abhor
just to name a few. Use a thesaurus for more.
Good luck.
