Not really. While you are right that it is not an Abrahamic influence, it is not something which Advaita supports. The concept of free will denotes that you as a person can have your own thoughts which would be a more dualistic approach. There is however freedom to choose between multiple possibilities (within the Advaithan concept, something Jyothisam also acknowledges).

Also, could you kindly let me know from where you are quoting the bit about icha, kriya and jnaana shakti? It is an interesting and different take compared to my understanding of it and would like to read up a bit more.
