No, an aux cable is typically used for Line Out, which carries an audio signal.
You'll need to use a USB cable, or a real MIDI Cable to get MIDI out of your keyboard. From a quick google search, it looks like your keyboard doesn't have any sort of MIDI Output options.
Looking at new gear, you should be able to find a basic MIDI keyboard for ~$100 USD. (Probably 49 or 61 keys?)
You can find smaller ones for cheaper, but I'm not sure how useful you'd find a 25 key controller.
I assume it's something like this? This will send audio from the synth, to a little converter unit embedded in the cable.
This will allow you to send audio data to the PC, but it won't really help you with MIDI.
Personally, I'd trust the akai keyboard before the aliexpress unit.
Still a fine unit. Looks to be the normal price from my quick google.
That's not really something I can say for certain. I use my QWERTY keyboard for 90% of my note entry/jamming needs, but having a real keyboard is nice

It's one of the main draws of FL for me.
This button toggles the keyboard from hotkeys to MIDI notes.
