1) Assuming we have an existing Websphere J2EE application (jsf, spring, seam, etc) that we want to 'BPM enable', can we continue to have this app be the 'UI layer' and interact with jBPM just as a 'service' -- with the existng app re-crafted to call into jBPM (also on the same Websphere server) to do the flow/process control & tracking?
Sure you can do this. jBPM is very lightweight so you can easily embed in you application as any other libraries.

2) How does licensing work, is jBPM 'free to use' -- but if you want support you then start paying?
jBPM is based on Apache Software Licence and if it comes to support you should contact sales@redhat.com for more details about it.
