Yes. If the only purpose of the extension is to change the default search settings, then it would be compliant with the single purpose policy.
The only supported way to change the default web search settings using an extension is via the Settings Overrides API. Extensions that change the default web search experience in any form, without using the Settings Overrides API, are subject to removal from the Chrome Web Store.
No. NTP extensions that provide a search experience must respect the user's existing settings by using the Chrome Search API. Altering a user's search experience is considered a standalone functionality and should not be coupled with any other features.

"We are clarifying our Quality Guidelines to ensure a seamless user experience. Specifically, new tab page extensions are now explicitly prohibited from altering a user's search experience unless they use the chrome.search API. This clarification aims to prevent any unexpected or unwanted changes to a user's browsing experience, ensuring that any modifications are clearly communicated and controlled. For more information on the Quality Guidelines policy, see our updated FAQ."
