Hi Ashis_K_Patra , 

No everything will be recoreded in your AWAF policy even if you disable it from virtual server to another. 
this not affect on Policy learning suggestions or settings. 

By the way , you can test it on a lab >>> 
Create AWAF policy and test some traffic and disable it on the current Virtual server then attach it to another >>> you will find all settings exist , and If you leant traffic from the newly virtual server and move this Policy to another Virtual server you will find all learnt suggestions and so on. 

By the way , you can attach single AWAF policy in multiple Virtual sever >>> but don't do this in your current scenario as you want to test without affecting the production encironment.

Also For your info , you can use two or more AWAF policies with single virtual server , but by using iRules or LTM policy.
