Is there any similarity in use between se rappeler and the English word recall? In other words, is it the case that a sentence in French using 'se rappeler' would be better translated using the word 'recall' than 'remember'?

Translating 'se rappeler' as 'recall'
This question relates to:French lesson "Se souvenir de/Se rappeler (de) = To remember something in French"

You can translate se rappeler with “to remember” or “to recall”. It depends on stylistic nuances, and I don’t think one is necessarily more correct than the other. That said, of course, se rappeler literally means to “recall to oneself”.
