Can you charge the Macbook using this adapter and a typical USB2 cable attached to a power plug?

No. For one thing, according to Apple's Tech Specs, the power input required to charge a MacBook is 29W, which exceeds the power output of any Apple USB AC power adapter other than the provided USB-C version. Connecting the Mac to a non-Apple AC adapter is not recommended.
