Generally no, an alto sax reed won’t have the right lay. In a pinch, it will work but not very well.
Clarinet reeds are shorter than sax reeds and that extra length causes a vibration (they won’t vibrate on the mouthpiece) problem.

not really the reeds are smaller in width for the clarinet and the saxophone reeds are larger in width.

Yep! They can! In fact I find they work better than alto clarinet reeds. They seemed to squeak less or something. I used the vandoran traditional alto sax reeds and they were perfect.
