While you can physically use it, you should use the one made for your Macbook Pro. You could have power issues, in charging the battery and running system at full capacity. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201700

Not advisable. It will take a very long time to charge the MBP. Get an 85w charger that the MBP calls for. OWC offers them at a modest discount:

Also the life of that charger will be short. It will run hot trying to charge the 15" MacBook Pro.
