Yes, you generally do. You absolutely need to be consuming more calories than you burn to add weight. The most important thing is protein - eat about a gram for every pound of body weight.

Do you gain muscles by eating more?

I assume you mean "muscle" (you have the same amount of muscles regardless of how strong you are ). Yes, to a certain extent, the more you eat, the larger your muscles will be. Genetics plays a huge factor into this; some people are naturally huge, some are naturally tiny. However, if you're trying to gain size into your muscles, you should eat a lot of protein and consume more calories than you expound.
