Is it possible to program a bare ATMega328P 28DIP chip with this, presuming I can map the 6 pins correctly? If so, does anyone have a link to share to help this Arduino hobbyist get started?
No. You need a few extra parts (pullup resistor on /RESET, decoupling caps, clock source if not using the internal RC clock).
Excellent tutorial at Gammon Forum : Electronics : Microprocessors : How to make an Arduino-compatible minimal board
Factory fresh ATMega chips have the 1 MHz internal RC clock selected by default, and therefore, the ISP programming frequency must be 250 kHz or less.

But can I use that programmer?
Consult the programmer documentation.
Yes, I’ve used it to put bootloaders on fresh chips and have also uploaded arduino code to fresh chips using these. Read through the hookup guides for the pocket and tiny programmers, that should get you started.
Cheers, thanks!
