No. Wordclock in requires 44.1kHz or similar audio clocks.
It seems the Mutec Clock can accept 10MHz via the same input though.

Yes it will. Though I would not loose sleep, you can always add an attenuator (50 Ohm) which will correctly terminate the cable.
I rather doubt that you will gain any real benefit from doing this, even if this Clock can re-clock the incoming Data-stream and re-output it (which I cannot quite work out from the webpages). The key limitation is the SPDIF/AES-EBU input circuitry in your DAC.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
