Looks like a Penicillium species, a very common colonist of yogurt (and lots of other foods). It definitely shouldn’t be eaten, get a refund for that furry yogi!
Yes, but most Penicillium molds produce unusable amounts of penicillin. In fact, the primary reason why antibiotics started being used only decades after its discovery was because it was challenging to produce usable quantities of the stuff, and it was only much later when a species was discovered that produces enough penicillin that it could be manufactured

Is that the sort one could use to treat an infection?
Probably not! I don’t know enough to say for sure what the process from fuzz to medicine looks like 😅
