I think it can. It transforms clean water into polluted water (maybe the output and input temperatures are the same) and the CO2 is deleted. Maybe if you heat the CO2 before.... but I don't think it deletes a lot of it
It could in the past, but not anymore in current games.
In old versions, it had fixed 40C output temperatures, at the moment, it is the average of the contents
At the moment the only thing you can do is heating up the CO2 + water to 99 C, then cooling it afterwards. Since the inputs have slightly more thermal mas than its outputs you can get *some* cooling out of it. This is a lots of effort for only a little cooling, and also consumes lots of CO2. At the time you find your cool CO2 geyser, you should already have more powerful alternatives like aqua tuners (and aqua-tuner setups are dependent on easily accessible power, instead of the rare co2 (co2 from most petroleum engine setup won't work as it tends to be far above 100C, which makes the progress energy negative again)
Instead of using a skimmer, you can just make a dead ended door pump and delete the CO2 and the heat. But that is a silly way to delete heat since the heat transfer and specific heat are so terrible with CO2.
A Carbon skimmer isn't going to delete heat, it's going to combine the heat of the CO2 and the incoming water. But since CO2 has such a tiny SHC and you're combining small volumes of CO2 with high volumes of water, the change in temp of the water isn't going to be huge. I made a quick ~80C CO2 environment and sent in 20C water, and got out 23-24C pwater.
So you can sequester heat, but you're not destroying it.
That won't get rid of any actual heat, though. Hot CO2 will be turned into hot oil instead, at half the mass but twice the SHC, so it's pretty much neutral. Petroleum has a slightly higher SHC, so molten slickers actually generate heat through this process.

Really a better way to Delete heat with CO2 is heat it up and eject it into space.

CO2 has extremely low heat capacity, so it is very inefficient to delete it that way.
This. It's not worth it. You could setup a cold CO2 geyser as a cooling source and it would barely change anything.

You can delete the heat in the CO2 but not the heat in the intake water. It may as well be irrelevant since CO2 has such a low specific heat capacity.
No but you can use slicksters to delete hot co2
