No, in the book; yes, in the film. Dorothy and her pet dog Toto - and her friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion - all have requests for the services of the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard says that he will fulfill the requests, in exchange for a service rendered by them on his behalf. That service is the death of the Wicked Witch of the West, in the book version by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919]. The service is the securing for the Wizard of the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West, in the posthumous 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz.

No. In the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz', the Wizard promises to grant the requests of Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto, and of their friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. But in return the five friends must bring back the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. The five accomplish the mission. So the broomstick is given to the Wizard of Oz.

Strictly speaking, no. The Witch had been destroyed, so therefore was not able to claim title to it. Whether title had been passed to another party is not clear in the story.
