Can you use the radar for air to air?

The F-5E carries IR missiles, so, no, the radar doesn't help with those. The radar is VERY useful however for aiming the guns.

 

RADARs can be used to slave IR seekers to targets, just not in the F-5E-3.

 

But yes, in MSL mode, the gunsight will display a range, and give you an in-range cue (which is also repeated on the RADAR). And in the dogfight modes, provides a RADAR computed gunsight which is quite accurate (well, it would be if the guns didn't just spray all over the place).
