Yes. Assuming tgere are threads in the crank arm. Its not uncommon for them to be damaged so just chank on them amd make sure the tool has full thread engaugment before you start pressing.

It should work. Have you tried? A common issue with these tools are that the part on the end can often be too wide to contact the bb axle through the crank arm, but those are sometimes removeable to reveal a narrower part.
In case you weren’t sure how to use it, see below. Wind the red part out, but not so the narrow tip is concealed inside the blue part. Then thread the tool into the crank arm, once its nice and snug, only then begin to tighten the longer inner part (red circled part).
You need to loosen the tool so that it back outo far enough that you can engage the threads. The part that pushes on the axle should be able to be completely inside the other part. Maybe you need to use a pipe wrench on the knurled section for better grip, or a second wrench if there are flat sections because it looks like the two parts are fully closed against eachother.

The tool has 2 parts to it; a large threaded bit that screws into the crank arm and a poky bit that is facing away from you in the first picture which also screws into and out of the first part.
First you need to turn the poky bit so it’s level with the threads that screw into the crank arm.
Then you screw the large threaded bit into the crank arm.
Then you put a spanner onto the other end of the poky bit and turn it.
The poky bit will push onto the axle of the bottom bracket and pull the crank arm off.

I’m confident that it will be possible
