Yes, it would. Those are all 2D things and there is no reason why you would need an ultra-powerful or seperate video card to do those things. Graphics power only really comes into play when you are dealing with rendering things in 3D, like model renderings or 3D intense games.
However, if you are worried about someone stealing and walking off with a notebook computer from your son's dormroom, the Mini is even smaller than a notebook and easier to have someone steal. Space is an issue in dorms as well, so the AIO design of the iMac might be a better option for those reasons.
