Does Xamarin Studio (mac) create Windows Forms Application (new project) as in Visual Studio - where you drag and drop from toolbox?
No, Xamarin not have Windows Forms designer. To create desktop applications with Xamarin drag and drop controls, you have to create a desktop application in Gtk #.

Problem
I can not find "Windows Forms App (.NET)" Template in Visual Studio ( Images at End ). But I can see "Windows Forms App (.NET Framework)" Template.
Images
Visual Studio Workloads: .NET desktop development, Desktop development with C++, Universal Windows Platform development, Game Development with Unity.
Templates I Can See:
You should be able to install .NET desktop development package in VS19.
Steps

Search for .NET desktop development (seen in picture A)
If it is not visible press the Install more tools and features link under Not finding what you're looking for (see picture B).
Search for the package and select it
Press the Modify button in the Visual Studio Installer
I am trying to recreate my work environment at home so that I can practice MVVM some more and help some additional students who will be going and getting internships. At work, we use Prism template pack in order to create views for our WPF applications. I downloaded the Prism Template Pack from the url seen below...

I fired up Visual Studio but I don't see the Prism Unity App project type under the Prism tab. I do see the Prism Unity App as a recent project type, but when I click on that I cannot create a new project of that type because it says it no longer exists. I have Visual Studio 2017 version 15.4.4 installed with the features .NET desktop development, Universal Windows Platform development, Data storage and processing and Xamarin.
I have a Xamarin project developed in iOS MAC. I want to continue the development of the same project on Xamarin Studio but on Windows. Is this possible?
Yes you can, keep in mind that when you're downloading Xamarin at windows it always force you to download a visual studio with Xamarin being a plugin (now they're introducing visual studio for Mac too!). if you're insisting to use Xamarin studio on windows go on to your account on Xamarin rather than using the default download button, and see all the version that can be downloaded. Xamarin studio for windows should still be there
You can open an Android project in Xamarin Studio on OSX or Windows. An iOS app will not open in Xamarin Studio on Windows; it has to be opened in Visual Studio. On Windows, Visual Studio should be used over Xamarin Studio.

You said that you installed the "Xamarin program", but what exactly did you install? I cannot tell from your screenshot if you are using Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015, but...
If you are using Visual Studio 2013, you will need to use the Xamarin Universal Installer(Just input your information and the file will be available to download).
If you are using Visual Studio 2015, then you can install Xamarin directly from within the Visual Studio 2015 installer window. Using Microsoft's guide from here you can:
...open Control Panel > Programs and Features, choose the Visual Studio 2015 item, and click Change. When the installer opens, click Modify
Check the following boxes:
Cross-Platform Mobile Development > C#/.NET (Xamarin)
For Windows 8+: Cross-Platform Mobile Development > Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android
(Optional) If you plan on targeting Windows devices, also check Windows and Web Development > Universal Windows App Development Tools and/or Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools
Click the Install button
Once installation is complete... check for Xamarin updates through Tools > Options > Xamarin or Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other, where you’ll find a Check Now
