Moving TPMS from one car too another?

Don't have an X to know this for sure, but in the 3 it just works. On the screen it'll prompt you asking if you changed wheels when it sees the new TPMS sensors, and auto-learns them. It also let's you select from OEM sizes so the speedo is fixed as long as you stick with original tire diameters. There's a wheel configuration option for that in the menus if you don't get prompted automagically.
it's an industry standard sensor that is built into a valve stem... you could pay a shop to switch them and it'll work or you can spend about $50-60 per sensor for new ones

I bought a set of wheels and tires from another Model S owner and put them on my Model S, and it just worked. As the previous user said it just gives you a prompt on the screen and off you go. I'm pretty sure the X will be the same thing.

Depends on what TPMS system generation is in the Model S that the wheels came off of. If the Model S is the Gen 2 system (which can display individual tire pressures in the instrument panel display) then yes, those TPMS sensors will work on the Model X with no changes.
If the Model S is the Gen 1 system (older, was original equipment on Model S vehicles with VIN less than 050900), then they will not work on the Model X.
Some Model S vehicles that originally shipped with the Gen 1 system have had the Gen 2 system retrofitted, so the VIN isn't the final word on whether those TPMS modules will work. The most reliable method would be if the Model S supported individual tire pressure display in the instrument cluster -- if yes, then the sensors will work on the Model X.
They just work, I have 3 sets of tires and wheels that I switch between and after a few miles they reset themselves.
