Yes/no. English is taught in schools, but often you will find people who will not speak English to you. They have various reasons for this, but it is quite common. I would suggest you learn some basic words to help you. When you enter a shop you need to tell the owner “good day” or hello. This is considered proper in Germany and rude if you don’t. I found it easier to read German when I was living there and did find some Germans would try to cheat me about the cost of a dinner if they thought I was a tourist. Even to this day when I go to Europe I think about my clothing and shoes because you can tell an American a mile away. I work at looking European. Carry pickpocket proof bags and wallets with you especially if you will be on crowded trains or busses. If you are leaving soon it is a good time of year. The trees turn color and whole hillsides are gold and red. The weather is also fairly good and the tourism is down.

Yes, you can get by speaking only English in Berlin as many people, particularly in shops, restaurants, and tourist areas, speak English. However, it is always appreciated when visitors make an effort to learn common German phrases and show an interest in the local language.
