Is oxygen compressible?

All gases are compressible. Depending on their state. Oxygen can be a gas, a solid or a liquid. Liquid oygen (very very cold) would not be compressible, solid oxygen (frozen) would not either but as a gas at standard conditions - room temperature and pressure - it can be compressed.

Can compressed nitrogen explode?

Yes, but it is a mechanical explosion and not a chemical one. The pressure of the gas cause the gas to store mechanical energy. And if circumstances permit, like a weakening to failure of a compressed gas cylinder with high pressure nitrogen in it, there will be a mechanical explosion. Such things have been known to occur - with catastrophic results. Nitrogen will not burn in the conventional sense, so it won't explode like, say, hydrogen.
