Yes, that is he ignition module. Typically, I would say no. It either works or it doesn't. Difference between the Ignition Module and the Ballast resistor failing, is if the Ballast resistor fails, the engine will start, but quits as soon as the key moves to the run position. If the ignition module fails, it just cranks away forever and never starts. Until I experienced difficulties starting, then most recently 'intermittent' failure, I would have never thought it was the ignition module. But, after replacing mine last night, the engine has fired right up overtime since. Like first revolution... hasn't done that for a loooong time.
