Yes, this could be the case. To speak sternly may easily be to speak sharply.
Either form may be used, and the usage will depend on the application. Some example sentences might help. Here they are:
The manager would speak sternly to her empolyees to get them back on track.
The boy knew his dad would speak sharply to him about not doing his chores.
You can put either word in the place of the other in either example sentence and still be correct. Look at this sentence:
A drill instructor will always speak sharply to new recruits to get them used to jumping when ordered to.
Consider that a DI (drill instructor) usually barks his orders (speaks them sharply) in order to get his troops moving quickly and in the right direction. It may not be as effective to use the word sternly in place of sharply in that sentence. Your style and sense of what you wish to say (as well as proper form) will determine your word choice.
Speaking sharply typically means communicating in a pointed or incisive manner, often using direct language that conveys a strong tone or attitude. It can imply speaking in a way that is critical, cutting, or stern in order to convey a clear message or make a strong impact.
"Sharply" is not typically considered a loaded word. It is an adverb that is commonly used to describe the intensity or suddenness of a change or action.
"Sharply" is an adverb. It is used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs by providing information on the manner, degree, or frequency of an action or quality.

Yes, the modifier is used correctly. "He spoke sharply to his sister" would be the correct way to write the sentence.
