This question is way too vague. It likely couldn't hurt.
Qi moves blood, so in theory, acupuncture should be able to improve circulation. But I would query the practitioners near you as to whether they have had experience or success in doing that particular thing.

It can improve blood circulation.
Yes acupuncture with herbs and sometimes massage can help relieve your blood circulation problems; you should feel gradually better.
If we're talking about cold hands and feet or Reynoud's syndrome then, yes, acupuncture can usually help.
If this is something along the lines of degraded vasculature in the low limb with spider nevi and/or varicose veins then the answer is still usually a qualified yes - you'll want to make sure someone is keeping an eye on your deep vasculature with doppler ultrasound so you can deal with any clots/thrombosis that may form.
If this is more along the lines of atherosclerosis with plaques blocking the arteries then you're going to get further by fixing your diet and trying to reverse the damage as much as possible. Acupuncture may still have a role to play, but you're more in the conventional medicine space.
