No and no. In fact, not at all. He said it would be Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar failed. Alexander did it later, but the fact that he explicitly described Nebuchadnezzar as doing it when he did not shows that the prophecy was incorrect. Sure, it was eventually destroyed, but not in the way it was described. For an ancient city that was already in the sights of a number of ambitious nations to be eventually destoyed is not a shock or evidence that god was behind it, especially when the army god designated as the destroyer failed. What most likely happened was the author recognized that Tyre was in the sights of ambitious nations, so he said god would bring nations against it, and Nebuchadnezzar would finish it. Unfortunately for his prophecy, he put too much confidence in Nebuchadnezzar's capabilities and Nebuchadnezzar failed.
