Box and old switch

I’m trying to replace a light switch that has 2(Red & Black) wires directly connected to the switch itself with a 3rd(White) wire that’s capped off in the box with a new smart switch that has 4(Red- Load out, Black- Line, White- Neutral, & Green- Ground)wires. Is the white in the box neutral? The old light switch has a ground screw and the white wires aren’t connected to it so I think they’re neutral. And if that’s the case what do I do with the ground wire from the new switch? Do I connect it to the screen in the back on the box? Help. Thanks!!! old switch showing ground screw new smart switch

Is this screw for grounding the green wire from new switch? enter image description here
