Can, even better. Voltage must be same, device will only draw whatever current it needs, the adapter just has that ceiling limit, it does not set the current.

safe, as long as the adapter can provide MORE than the device consume. Not the other way, if the device can eat more than the adapter can provide, the adapter will work max for long hour and it will eventually burn, but work lesser than its capable is sure no problem.
