No. As clearly stated on
the EUSS page:
If you are not an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen
If you are in the UK, you will need to use one of the following:
passport
biometric residence card
biometric residence permit
The list does not include the 6-month Family Permit, hence you need to use your passport.
And when you
select to verify your identity with the app, it says:
If you are an EEA or Swiss citizen, use either your:
passport
national identity card
If you are not an EEA or Swiss citizen, use your biometric residence card.
So the only passports the app works are EU passports, as a non EEA citizen, if you want to use the app you need a BRC. Hence you are stuck with one of the other two options to verify your identity, NOT the app.

Much less than for the old EEA route. In most cases, if your EU sponsor has been legally working and making NI contributions, the check is almost automatically and you don't need to supply anything else to prove they are a qualified person.
But of course, each case is different and sometimes further documents are requested. All info here:
