What can a kid call a stranger who is a man the same age as the kid's father' Can the kid call that stranger 'uncle'?

That's not customary. Assume the man's name is Tom Smith.
Broadly speaking, the kid can say
Sir

...the same age as the kid's father...This is standard English. eg Mary is the same age as Tom.
We also sometimes say eg Mary is the same age as Tom is.
