I’ve passed all the ABRSM piano exams. Will that only help me get into a music college or will it also work in normal colleges?

Congrats! Since those exams are of such high standards, you can count them as an extracurricular. I believe it is a 2a, which is strong. Obviously, it is not as useful as if you were applying to a music college, but it is still a very noteworthy achievement for your application.

I'm not entirely sure what that is, since I do not play the piano, but if it is a challenging music exam, then I'm sure it could help in other colleges too. It will show that you are also a talented musician on top of your academic work, as well as being accomplished and a hard worker.
