Algae is the primary photosynthesising agent on earth. Seaweed also photosynthesises (some species at least, I'm not sure if there are others that don't), so yes, both of them do produce oxygen from carbon dioxide.

Yes, most kelp do convert sunlight energy into organic biomass, with water and oxygen as a byproduct. Kelp forests are typically found in coastal waters where the kelp fronds can reach sunlight near the ocean's surface.

I read someone that kelp provides between 70 and 80 percent of the worlds oxygen but I'm not sure if it was a reliable source.
