Let's say I have two wallets, each delegated to a different stake pool. At some point within an epoch I transfer some Ada from one wallet to the other. What will be the applicable balance which is considered staked by each wallet/pool for that epoch?

At the end of epoch N the balance in your wallet becomes the staked balance for epoch N + 2 and the staking rewards for epoch N + 2 are paid at the start of epoch N + 4.

This avoids the need to lock ADA up for staking and also gives the code enough time to do the required calculations before they are needed.

    OK so if I understand correctly, a snapshot approach is used, not an average, and there is also a delay (same delay as per re-delegation).

    Above answer is correct, please accept it. Yes, snapshot of stake is always taken on epoch boundary, and is used for block production epoch after snapshot.
