No.
In additional to slide (I would assume you mean the slide assembly which includes barrel and recoil spring) and the frame, many other parts are shorter on G19.
Someone else correct me if I am wrong, but I think the slide guide is different. Also the magazine.
You basically have to replace the entire pistol except the hammer assembly, trigger and trigger bar, and some other small parts like the pins and screws. Not an efficient way to "convert" it to a G17 at all. Besides, if you buy the parts you need to replace, it will probably cost more than a G17.

No. WE G17 and G18 are different systems, the stripped frame is interchangeable, but the full frame is not (mostly the hammer assembly being different). Stock slides are different, too.
There are an Ace1Arms slide kit that can fit on both G17 and G18 though.
