Is this 500 GB SSD compatible with a Dell Optiplex 755 minitower?

No this won't. First your mobo in that 755 doesn't even have an nvme slot and second you won't be able to run pcie 4.0, or possibly 3.0 for that matter. Get an ssd and and a sata cable if you don't have one already.

Can I replace a 950Pro M.2 256 with this one?

It should. But it will not perform at those speeds unless you have a new MB with PCIE 4.0 support.
