is it possible to generate tf file based on a blueprint subaccount and then use it to create a new subacount?

Not fully automated, but with Terraform version 1.5 the so called import blocks have been introduced. With this you can import existing accounts to Terraform this is a very handy evolution of the old terraform import statement.
In order to get your resource definition you must also use the (currently) experimental -generate-config-out flag.

Based on that import that is intended to bring existing infrastructure under management by Terraform you can refine your setup manually (like refactoring into Terraform modules etc.) to have your blueprint for Terraform available. However, some manual work needed to do so.

Depending on the complexity of your blueprint account it might be easier to create the files manually, instead of using the aforementioned import functionality.

Here is the link to the documentation of the import blocks: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/import
Here is a short video to see the import blocks as well as the experimental -generate-config-out flag in action: https://youtu.be/znfh_00EDZ0?si=UJdKgxWuAI5iwHmv
