Hello, I have a wordpress VM running into Azure. I have an SSL on AWS and pointed the certificates to my domain. However, the url is hard coded and I am having a hard time figuring out how to fix this. Could you help me?

Instead of using a VM to host your Wordpress site, you could create on Azure App Service along with your hosted DB server. However, if you still want to use a VM (I'm assuming Windows Server) and you have installed your SSL cert in IIS on your Windows VM; you may be able to use a DNS alias record on your VM's public IP . You may also need configure URL rewrite rules on the VM to route domain traffic to the WordPress app in IIS.

Can I migrate my Wordpress site to an app without interrupting service? Would this also be better for expanding into a mobile application when the time comes?

Mobile will be determined how you configured your site styling to adapt to smaller screen devices. With regards to migration, the create WordPress I linked earlier uses MySQL for a database backend. If you're using MySQL as well, you can back up your current, create a new MySQL instance, restore your backup to your hosted instance, and then use your hosted instance when you create the app service. If, however, your WordPress is backed by SQL, have a look at projectnami. I'm not certain how much massaging you would have to do for a lift and shift, but worth exploring.
