No.

In short, you don't want to trust inch designations of bicycle tire sizes, they offer plenty of chances to get it wrong.

The least messed up tire sizing method is the ETRTO system, which gives sizes in millimeters based on approximate width and the Bead Seat Diameter (where the reinforced lip of the tire meets the rim).

"Old" 27" is 630 mm ETRTO Bead Seat Diameter. "New" 27 is a rather silly name being used for 584 mm ETRTO AKA 650B (mainly) mtb wheels.

All 700C-something tires are meant for 622 mm ETRTO rims, what the MTB industry for some strange reason has decided to call 29er AKA 29", in a vague reference to the diameter of the wheel with an inflated tire fitted.

700C / 622 mm is the most common size for road bikes, with "old" 27" / 630 mm being an earlier road bike standard.

There's some cross-compatibility between 29er tires and 700C road tires, unless they're too far apart in width. A real narrow road tire won't fit well on a wide MTB rim, and a road bike frame/fork may not have the clearance to take a wider MTB tire - even if it would sit just fine on the rim.

I'll post a link where you can read up more.
