No. You can only claim Medicare premiums and other medical expenses paid out-of-pocket and not reimbursed by insurance or other sources.

No.  My California state pension reimburses me too for the Medicare deduction on my Social Security checks including for the IRMAA.   So they paid for it, not me.

So that also means do not enter the Medicare on the Social Security entry screen.  So it won’t flow to Schedule A Medical.
