My answer is no.
$operatorname{Aut} (mathbb{Z)}$ is isomorphic to $Z_2$ and $operatorname{Aut} (Z_3)$ is also isomorphic to $U(3)$, which is isomorphic to $Z_2$. But $mathbb Z$ is not isomorphic to $Z_3.$ Correct? Thanks

    Yes, you are correct. Also there's no need for introducing $U(3)$, $Aut(mathbb{Z}_3)$ has exactly two elements, thus it has to be $mathbb{Z}_2$.

Besides your example, there is even an example with finite groups, as
$$
{rm Aut}(S_3)cong {rm Aut}(C_2times C_2)cong S_3,
$$
but $S_3$ is of course not isomorphic to $C_2times C_2$.

    As another example, both the trivial group $Id$ and the cyclic group of order two $C_2$ have trivial automorphism group:
    $$operatorname{Aut}(Id)cong Idcongoperatorname{Aut(C_2)}$$



    This is the smallest possible example...



    (These are the only two groups $G$ with $operatorname{Aut}(G)cong Id$. See here for a proof.)

      You can even use non-isomorphic finite groups of the same order. The smallest example is $Aut(C_4times C_2)cong Aut(D_8)cong D_8$.
