You can. ADB is your friend.

pm list packages | grep '<OEM/Carrier/App Name>' you can try to see with spectrum

No worries! Note that it doesn't really uninstall it, I mean it does but the app is still there, available for you to be reinstalled in case it's an essential app, in that case do:

adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>

So save the app package name somewhere. It uninstalls the app for the current user but it's still available in the system (it doesn't run if you uninstall it, no worries)

will this stop it from auto installing?

Unless spectrum pushes some kind of update that reinstall it, you're okay! The first OS update check if it's there, if not you're safe
