Does creating dashlets & components using existing xi/fusion codes (with modification) allowed?

I would think so - that's the best way to get started, but the Nagios folks will know for sure.

Yes you can create custom dashlets and components, that utilize existing functions call. However, you should NOT modify the code in XI or fusion outsid eof your dashlet or component as this not only could break your install, it would be overridden on your next upgrade.

All changes should be contained within your component or dashlet code.

Thank you for the reply, we understand the risk of breaking the installation and been overridden on upgrade.
Unfortunately, we need to make necessary amendments according to our users' need.

Then it is allowed on licensed versions as long as you are not modifying any sourceguardian encrypted filed.
