Nope' that feature was discontinued some years ago.

New Mac's including the Mac mini, do not support Target Display Mode.

If you get a Mac mini, then you can use an Apple or aftermarket external Display.

Definitely not. The 2015 iMac does not support Target Display Mode. If you MacMini is a 2020 or newer, it doesn't support any iMac as a display, even those that do support Target Display Mode.
