Yes, an oral surgeon can remove an infected tooth. You should make sure sure that extraction is the best option and should know about other options including periodontal or endodontic treatment.

Yes, any dentist, as long as they are licensed practitioners, can remove or extract infected tooth, but it can depend on the severity of the scenario, and in this scenario, they will refer you to either an oral surgeon or periodontist.
