I filed I-130 for my spouse who's living abroad, can I file I-129F to get a K-3 visa for her and speed up the process?

You can, and since submitting I-129F in this scenario is free, you have very little to lose, but it's unlikely to speed up your I-130 or to lead to a K-3 visa. Only a total of 14 people received K-3 visas from 2018 to 2022 (source). The K-3 visa is all but dead.
