No, Pennywise is small potatoes compared to the Crimson King. There is another being that Roland encounters during his travels that is much closer to Pennywise. But whereas Pennywise fed on fear the other (Dandelo) fed off of laughter.
While King does have a habit of having characters reappear in other stories, they stay more or less consistent in what they do. The Walking dude will tempt people, and travel and cause mischief, the Crimson King will try to destroy whatever he can, but Pennywise was just content to sit in Derry and feed. It doesn't fit the Crimson King's MO at all.
