Permanency and Transfer Magic (Mythic Trickster Path Ability)

[Hydromancer]

If I were to successfully use Transfer Magic from the Trickster's path abilities on someone who's highest level spell effect is a permanency'd Arcane Sight, would the stolen arcane sight be permanent? That I could end on a standard action if need be (not sure why I would)?

Trickster: Transfer Magic:

Your mythic nature allows you to take magic from others as easily as you could take their gold. By expending one use of mythic power as a standard action, you can make a melee touch attack to transfer an active magical effect from a target creature to you. If you succeed, the highest-level effect on the target transfers to you (determine randomly if the target has multiple effects with the same level), ending the effect for the target and continuing it on you with the remaining duration as if you were the original target. You may end the effect on yourself as a standard action; this doesn't cause it to revert to the original target. If the transferred magic can't affect you (for example, if it doesn't affect creatures of your type), it ends immediately as if dispelled. You can't use this ability to transfer continuous bonuses from magic items, such as an armor bonus from bracers of armor..

You have the right of it. The 'remaining duration' is permanent (until dispelled, anyway)

On that note... If my friend/partymember/person in need were to be cursed by a witch..

Could they willingly accept my touch attack so I can steal their curse and then end it with a standard?

Yes, so long as it is an active magic effect with a duration. If, for some reason, it were an instantaneous curse (with lasting effect), you would not be able to remove it. That's about the only magic thing I can think of that wouldn't be transferred.

I suppose it would also need to be the highest level effect on your friend, as it doesn't give you the option of choosing the target effect. So it might take a few tries, and may not be easily done in a pinch (if there are other, higher level buffs)
