Unless they changed something since I applied in 2017, nope. The AROTC PFA is a different test (1 min push-ups, 1 min sit-ups, 1 mile run). You could ask just to double-check, though.
No. Army ROTC does not accept the CFA.
Army ROTC accepts either the PFA (noted above) or the APFT for the HS national scholarship application.

This blog entry by our own @clarksonarmy will help you choose between the PFA (also known as the PRT) vs. the APFT.

Keep in mind that if you do earn an Army ROTC scholarship, nothing gets paid out until you also pass the APFT (and DoDMERB).

From the FAQ pdf available on the Additional Information section of your portal:
"Can I use my CFA (Candidate Fitness Assessment from West Point or one of the other Service Academies?) Yes, you may; however, you are awarded points based off your scores on your Army ROTC Fitness Assessment. The Army ROTC Fitness Assessment only requires 1 minute of pushups and curl-ups; therefore, if you want to use your CFA, we must divide your pushup and modified sit-up scores in half. This is not in your favor. See the PFA section of the Additional Information page."
