This is not a typical isolation box but if there is circulation, should work. Isolation and feeding fish will get it back to health. It sure took a beating. You can add ruby rally pro to tank which is reef safe and will help prevent infection and assist with healing

I would keep it isolated from all other animals until its fins grow back. Pairs bonds often break down with clownfish, you just need to manage that by moving fish or using tank dividers.
