My gf's car is acting up. If I download some free OBDII software will I be able to scan for codes or is a different protocol/pinout?

Doubt it. Fords of that vintage generally use SAE J1850-PWM
which uses different pins on the OBD-II connector than anything VW/Audi uses, and requires different interface hardware (a different chipset to accommodate the pulse width modulated data).
Of course, it doesn't hurt to try.
