You can't fresh install OS on your db nodes. This is Exadata right? So you will need to do an image upgrade. This is how these things are done on Exadata. So the answer for your first question is "no".
The answer for your second question is also "no" :)

You need to upgrade your Exadata Image version and also ensure your current DB version is supported with the Exadata Image version to which you will upgrade.. Then you will do a 19C database upgrade using the binaries from the 19C Home. You will follow the upgrade guidelines. That's the way. You may also export-import your data from 11g to 19c , that s also a way but it may cost you a lot of efforts so upgrade method is your choice actually..
