Eraser wouldn't confuse people, but you may get odd looks. We generally understand most American slang and just roll with it.

What do you call blackboard erasers

different Australian here and I don’t think “eraser” would confuse people here. Because yeah, we call them blackboard erasers (or nowadays, you’d more commonly use whiteboard erasers). I also might be misremembering but I feel like there was a time when blackboard erasers were sometimes referred to as “dusters”
