As above, and with this, will I be able to take the 180mm off the front and put it on the back?

What is on the back now?

A 180 front adapter does not generally do 180 on the back the spacing of the bolt holes is generally compatible with a 20mm smaller disc at the back unless things have changed recently?

160mm on the back. If I have to buy a new adapter for the back thats no biggie as if the front is changed ill have a spare 180 rotor.

Depends on your forks, some aren't warranted for 203mm.

And the frame, some only have clearance for 160 or 180 rotors.

Frame and fork are ?

Some frames won't take a 180mm rear, mine won't.

160 rear = 180 front
180 rear = 200 front

etc

Maximum rotor size for XC32s is 210mm so you will be fine, no idea what the largest rotor the back will take though.
