Yes, it's possible to call Xamarin.Forms pages from Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS projects, in Xamarin this is call Native2Forms.

You will use the Xamarin.Forms App class as your connection between your two projects.

This is a sample project from Xamarin showing how you can do that. https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/tree/master/Native2Forms

Regarding the converter, No, I don't think there's a way of converting Android XMLs and/or iOS Storyboards/XIBs into Xamarin.Forms Pages (XAML).
