Can I use my iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) as external display for my Macbook Pro (16-inch, 2019)? I have the male Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to female Thunderbolt 2 adapter . If I get a Thunderbolt or a Thunderbolt 2 cable, will it work? Or do I have to get a female Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 to male Thunderbolt 3 adapter?
I used a 32GB USB stick to create a bootable installer for High Sierra, and installed it into the APFS volume I had created earlier. And by using the setup described by woodmeister50 2013 iMac->Thunderbolt 1/2 cable->Thunderbolt3-to-Thunderbolt Adapter->MBP, I was able to use Target Display Mode on my 2013 iMac. Yay!

Remember, the iMac must be running High Sierra or older for it to work.
Mojave and Catalina dropped support for Target Display Mode.
Unfortunately, I upgraded to Catalina, so now I am trying to install High Sierra on a new APFS volume, so I can try out Target Display Mode.

Try formatting the drive MacOS extended Journaled.
Great work, thanks for the report! :)
