PMP cert

If OP wants to be a software product manager, this would be a very bad move. If OP wants to work in construction or build airplanes, PMP might be an ok move, but probably not. I don't know any Product people who have PMPs, at least not any good ones.

Depends whether "PM" is Project Manager or Product Manager. PMP is good for the former

You don’t need an expensive MBA for that transition.

Yes, Duke or Haas will do just fine.

@azmix can you refer in az?

No need for an MBA. Internal transfer is probably your best bet.

Very possible. MBA isn’t needed. Plenty of free ways to learn. Try to take on projects at work that allow you to build up some related experience.
