Can an attacker be a blocker during one action of playing the ball in such a scenario?

By rule, yes. An inadvertant deflection with all the block criteria still qualifies as a block, no matter what it might look like.
Of course, I've seen it not called this way, even in NCAA Final Four play. But by rule, it should be ruled a block.
