Is it possible to use nanotechnology to accelorate plant growth on Mars and is it possible to use machines like the one in the Apollo 13 module to take out the carbon dioxide and use it to just leave the oxygen and add nitrogen on Mars?

biotechnology, probably, but then again, growing faster needs something ... more, be it insolation or nutrients.
The CO2 scrubber was not an 'invention' of A13, they just McGyvered the existing one in the module that became inoperable to work with the other one in the module that still had power etc. Scrubbers like thes are in use ² the ISS, and will be on Mars, but to change the *whole* atmosphere of Mars that way, no, technically impossible. There'd be better ways to do that
