You can import metrics via File > Import > Metrics and point it to the other file. Or, if it’s really only kerning, copy/paste kerning via Window > Kerning. Or, if it is only sidebearings, you can use the Steal Sidebearings script from my github at github.com/mekkablue/Glyphs-Scripts/
Reducing sidebearings for selected glyphs can be done via Filters > Transformations > Metrics and a negative value in combination with the Relative option.
