I often find that suprising applications come out of push hands and experimentation like this. Just be careful not to apply force but to meditate over Tao te Ching chapter 10, so you do not inadvertently cause damage to your opponent.
Is that Taiji push hands supposed to look like?
If you can damage your opponent just by doing this, your opponent must be very old, weak, and sick.
Not slowly, but, as mentioned, if you express power in these exercises it is very easy to get hurt. I've seen broken wrists and hyperextended elbows, mainly from newer students getting a bit too aggro.
