There's nothing that needs to be done. Warranty, is tied to the device, not the person.

You can enter the serial number here, and verify the warranty left on the computer.

If you need warranty service, the Genius there will do the same thing on their system to determine the warranty status of the device.

No, in fact, the seller, should have done this prior to giving the Macbook to you. It is illegal to transfer the OSx and other software license. You need to install your own OSx with your own license.

You can follow this support document if the seller did not:
