You can bring the VM over to Fusion without modification. Copy it like you would with any other file.

Once copied, just double-click on the .vmx file on the Mac and it will add to Fusion's VM library.

As far as licensing Windows, you would do that the exact same way you would on a physical PC.

It sounds like it.  But this is really a question of licensing of the Windows 10 instances - which is a Microsoft question, not a VMware one.
