Carrier T-Mobile to Sprint

It will not. The T-Mobile chipset doesn't contain the CDMA chip needed for access to sprints 2 and 3G networks.
That being said, switching from
T-Mobile to sprint is a bad idea to me personally
It has all the hardware to work. I know for a very long time sprint was very particular over what phones they allowed on their network regardless of whether they technically work. I THINK that policy may have changed. Either eay, this is a good question for sprint.
Keep in mind that if you did a lease wth T-Mobile you will need to pay off the phone and wait for them to unlock it. The only way for an unlocked T-Mobile phone out of the box right now, at least as far as I know, is through the Apple Store.

Are you certain of this? In pretty certain there are only two models of each device in the us now, the only difference being a band 30 lte (for att)
I'm fairly certain. I believe there are two models as well, one that will work with Verizon and Sprint, and the other that works with ATT and Tmobile
That wasn't my understanding at all. Let me see if I can find the specifications. I believe they're on Apple.com
T mobile, Verizon, Sprint are all the same model for the 6S and 6S+ according to Apple.com.
Question is if Sprint will activate it.

That page doesn't load for me, however the link I posted seems to imply something else. I was under the impression they would all work on all networks, until I found that.
Edit: I was looking at iPhone 6. What a tool lol. Give me a sec.
Here we go. Scratch what I said before. There ARE only two models and both should technically be fully compatible.
