From what I've read adding the WSFC components to the server after SQL has already been installed is problematic and one of the ways around it is to uninstall & reinstall SQL.
Not one i'm aware of, do you have a link?
The only time theres a dependency here is if you're installing an FCI. A stand alone instance will have no dependency.

I neglected to mention in the Original Post that these servers are Hyper-V VM's, so 'hardware' compatibility isn't a problem.
Ok fine, just ensure the OS versions are compatible.

Do you have any experience (good or bad) with installing the WSFC components to an existing SQL Server and setting up a Cluster and AOAG's?Keith
No i dont i'm afraid, just setup the cluster as usual and then enable the existing instance for AlwaysOn
