The ecu alone wont work, and swapping modules would cause ZCS code errors too, min requirement would be ecu + ews immobiliser and key chip wouldn’t bother, better to give Trikey BigRuss Marinabrian a message and get it mapped correctly.

Yes it’s fairly simple to swap cruise over as long as the wiring is in place

Mark's a sound lad. He's been giving one of my cars a bit of TLC recently, am picking it up tomorrow. Definitely worth having a chat with him, but I know he has a pretty heavy workload on right now (I'm in the queue!) so if there's any T4 work needing done it might be a couple of weeks before he can fit you in.
