Will this part work instead of a serial rs232 shifter?
No, I don't think so.

You should be able to use that instead of a rs232 level shifter. It is a serial to USB converter. It uses a generic USB driver to emulate a serial port on the computer. Just make sure that you can set the the micro and the converter with the same settings, hand shaking, stop bits, ect...

As for the crystal I would use something like this

and use 22pf capacitors.
