Yes, the entire basis of how acupuncture works lies in improving circulation.

Generally speaking, yes, acupuncture can often improve circulation. There are a lot of potential issues that fall under the "circulatory problem" umbrella and I'd need more specific information about your particular issue before I could say, for sure, acupuncture would help.
If we're talking about something like varicose veins, chronically cold hands/feet, or fluid build up in the ankles and low leg where cardiac issues have been ruled out then yes, acupuncture can probably help.
Please make sure you're seeing a board certified, state licensed acupuncturist. You want a provider with a Dipl AC or Dipl OM national credential and an L.Ac. or R.Ac. state practice license.
