Accessing my laptop's CD drive over ethernet from my main PC
You could try https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd. Block devices have a file-like interface, but they're not exactly the same as files. As far as I know, Samba isn't suitable for sharing block devices.

What is an easy/quick way to transfer an entire install to a new drive?
If you have another system but it can only fit one storage device, put the new one in there, use NBD (or ATAoE, or iSCSI) to expose that storage device over the network to the old system, and use the regular ZFS tools to migrate data. This is how I typically clone systems in the scenario you’re describing (albeit usually using other tooling as I typically do not use ZFS), and if you’ve got a reliable network it generally works very well.

How I spent my weekend learning about iSCSI on Linux
For what it's worth, I tried iSCSI for storage, but NBD gave me better performance in some scenarios, probably because it's a much simpler protocol.
