In English, the words do not have quite the same meaning, although small-minded and petty-minded are generally interchangeable.
Narrow-minded is used to describe a person who is unwilling to accept and understand new or different ideas or customs or social changes etc.
A small-minded person is one who is too concerned with small problems and trivial details of life and does not think about what is really important.
Someone with a petty mind cares ONLY about the small and unimportant things, so it is similar to small-minded; except that "petty" does carry a very negative feeling behind it, more so than the other two adjectives. "Petty" implies someone who is spiteful and not generous. So someone with a petty-mind, would be the least pleasant person to be around!
