Big NO NO ! It will soften or destroy the vinyl
Yes
As long as the vinyl liner pool is inground, it can be converted. But you'll probably have to remove all of the vinyl pool elements until you have reduced the pool to a big hole in the ground and then start from there. All it takes is time and money!

High concentrations of chlorine can and will destroy a vinyl liner.
