No. It's present and past. 'Everyone agreed with the decision taken at the meeting'. 'Everyone agrees to the decision', sounds very conversational. Normally we 'agree with', but we can imagine someone saying, 'so, everyone agrees to the decision ?'.

Sorry, I was too careless. I meant to ask if 'Everyone agreed to the decision' equals the original sentence 'Everyone agreed with the decision'.

Thank you very much.
