They should work, I have done several similar builds just make sure you have a way to mount brakes if you're doing away with the coaster brakes.

You may also try to true the wheels, plenty of tutorials on YouTube. I have made a truing stand from an old fork and just eyeball it or use a zip tie as a guide.

The rims are the same diameter, and should be similar in terms of bead-to-bead width. The rear hub on the mtb wheel will likely be far wider than you Cranbrook's rear spacing will allow, so you'll probably have to spread the frame. There's a couple different methods and a lot of info online about doing this, but beware: most ppl mess it up. And if you're putting a 135mm hub into a very cheap 110mm frame, you can expect problems long-term.
