The page MediaWiki:Sidebar allows you to change/add to the menu on the left. So how to add or change items in the menu at the top, (is there a MediaWiki:Topbar page)? Specifically, how to add a link to the users sandbox as on Wikipedia?

This adds a "Sandbox" link to the personal toolbar area, like on Wikipedia.
It does need an extension - if not installed already, install the Gadgets extension.
Add the page MediaWiki:Gadget-mySandbox.js.
Edit the pages MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition with
mySandbox[ResourceLoader|dependencies=mediawiki.util,mediawiki.Title,mediawiki.Uri|default|rights=createpage]|mySandbox.js
and MediaWiki:Gadget-mySandbox with eg.
Add a "Sandbox" link to the personal toolbar area.
It will be then enabled by default in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets
