The WELCOME email is only sent to new members, not non-members that are added to the database.

I have several Prospects, who opted-in, that are now members. When I move them from the Prospects list into the Members list, does that movement trigger the system to automatically send them a New Member Welcome email or do I need to manually send them the New Member Welcome email by selecting their names in the New Member Welcome tab?

You will need to send them the welcome email manually.
