Does Disney offer transport from NYC LaGuardia Airport to the cruise terminal in Manhattan? Can this be added to existing reservation? Any alternatives to a taxi (which I assume would be $$$$)?

Yes, you can book transfers through DCL, and they can be added to an existing reservation (and not just for NYC). There are other alternatives (yes, taxi would be $$$$ or even $$$$$).
Several airport shuttle companies serve the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. Go Airlink is one of them.

For one person, a DCL transfer is definitely cheaper than a cab. For two people or more, the taxi becomes competitive. Estimated taxi fare from La Guardia courtesy of TaxiFareFinder is around $38 including tip. I estimated the fare using the Intrepid Air and Space Museum as the landmark, as the Manhattan Cruise Terminal was not on the list. While the Intrepid museum is right next to the cruise terminal, a driver would have to go a half-mile further north (to 55th St.) to access the cruise terminal. That could add $2-3 to the fare.
Now, that's specifically for La Guardia. JFK is a $45 flat rate into Manhattan. Add 20% tip, $54. The fare from Newark would be similar.
