Is there way to indicate architecture (32 or 64 bit) when configuring node js in azure?

I know that azure web sites/app respects the following element in package.json in node js application for configuring host node and desired npm:

 "engines": {
    "node": "6.11.1",
    "npm": "4.6.1"
  }

Is there also a way to indicate require either 32-bit or 64-bit version of node for hosting in azure web apps?

The Node.js (npm) package.json file has a cpu property that should achieve what you're looking for.

From the npmjs package docs -

cpu

If your code only runs on certain cpu architectures, you can specify which ones.
"cpu" : [ "x64", "ia32" ]

Like the os option, you can also blacklist architectures:
"cpu" : [ "!arm", "!mips" ]

The host architecture is determined by process.arch

In your case, if you'd like to set your Azure environment to 32bit, simply set "cpu" : [ "ia32" ]; if you'd like the 64 bit environment, set it to "cpu" : [ "x64" ].
