Can those services and registry keys be disabled on Home editions as well?
Unfortunately no. Home edition will actively ignore Group Policies and Registry keys relating to privacy.
You would be better off using a 10 Pro license or pirating 10 Pro and keeping it from phoning home.
Is it possible to convert an existing Home installation to a Pro installation without completely wiping the system and reinstalling everything?
Yes, Settings -> Update & Security -> Activation will give you an offer to upgrade your edition of Windows or change your product key.
