Yes. A TM backup will restore macOS and all your macOS applications. It cannot backup/restore Windows. The erase/restore will address the underlying layers of APFS, which it seems to be incapable of, in the current state.

The Recovery HD is almost 640GB. This is a known issue in High Sierra. Do you have a Time Machine backup of macOS? A TM backup is the cleanest method of correcting a Fusion drive which is in this state. This does require rebuilding the Fusion drive from scratch erasing both underlying physical disks in Internet Recovery.
