I also have a small walkway to my mailbox made up of slate paving
stones. I'd really like the moss to grow between the stones. Is it
possible to move the moss from where it is, to where I want it to be?
I was thinking maybe I could take "slices" of mossy soil and layer
them between the pavers.

May or may not work, depending on the species of moss you're sowing -- they're
just as picky (or maybe more so!) than seed plants. If your front
yard is nice and shady and moist, chances are that particular
species isn't going to make it in a dry, sunny area. But give it a try...
you really don't have much to lose in the experiment!

Keep an eye out for mosses growing in areas similar to your
front walkway. Ask if you can collect some and try to transplant.
You'll probably have more luck than trying just J. Random Moss From
Elsewhere.
