No, you cannot use those refunds to pay the 2019 tax due.  It takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.  If you are getting a refund they mail you a check. And your 2019 tax due is supposed to be paid by April 15, 2020.  Even if you get an extension for 2019, it only gives you an extension to file--estimated 2019 tax due is required to be paid by April 15, 2020.
