Can I play Super Mario Bros. on PC?

Not as a finished native port yet. 4 community projects are working on Super Mario Bros.; the table below shows how far each has got. You can also play Super Mario Bros. (clean room) in your browser on Recomp.

Is there a Super Mario Bros. decompilation?

Yes: smb1-disasm.

Is it legal?

These projects publish code only. Where a build needs game data, you supply it from a copy of Super Mario Bros. you own; Recomp never links to game files.
