No, only the compressor will lock up.
Yes, if the compressor's bearings are bad, usually accompanied by a roaring or squealing noise coming from the compressor's pulley.

what causes compressor lockout in voager rooftop unit.
If the clutch on the AC compressor has seized, the engine can in some situations stop running. The compressor could be bad but it is also possible that the clutch only is bad.
Check your battery... The A/C Compressor is probably bad. I had the same problem and when you turn on the ac it engages a clutch that is driven by your fan belt and if the compressor is bad it will stop the belt from turning and stall the engine. The same thing will happen for a bad alternator.
no but it can cause motor to lock up because no air flow
Bad compressor
A seized AC compressor will tear up the belt... if it's a serpentine belt, or a belt which runs any other components necessary to the car's operation, that'll eventually cause it to shut down.

If you are talking about the compressor on the engine, you may have a bad fuse, bad clutch on the compressor, or too high of pressure in the air conditioning system. If you are talking about the fan motor in the ac/heater assembly, possible blown fuse or bad motor.
