No. Usually the forces involved in creating an Earthquake are thousands of times more of potential energy than a nuclear bomb.
It is possible for Nukes to cause underwater landslides that could potentially create a minor tsunami causing "some" damage. But using the nuke directly would probably cause more damage (physically and psychologically).

- the test was not alledged, it was real. seismic waves and radio-isotopes from it have been confirmed
- the bomb was just 1 kiloton, that's 20 times less than the Hiroshima bomb, and that's 6'500'000 times less than the world's official nuclear arsenal (mostly in the US and Russia), a tally which excludes all bombs due for destruction (but not destroyed yet). Earthquakes typically release energy in the 10 to 100 Megaton (10'000 to 100'000 kilotons), if not more, and they're very deep. No way such a small bomb, at such a small depth, could have done anything.

The NK nuke test was under a kiloton. Radiation was measured, the test has been confirmed.
The earthquake in Hawaii was volcano related.
No correlation.

uh no. we don't have the tech necessary to control the shifting of tectonic plates
