Would a blank still kill the mouse/rat?

At that range, probably. But you could defintely run this with shotshells full of rat shot, and that would upgrade it from ‘probably’ to ‘certainly’ while still being reasonably safe-ish.

At that range, absolutely. A blank will blow a sizable hole in a rat or mole. People die every year from the perception that blanks are “safe”; aside from any barrel debris or wadding that may be ejected, they are still completely lethal at very close ranges because of the pressure wave.
