These trees will work well for bonsai. I am not positive what species it is, but it looks like a benjimina or benjimina varient. Your trees look a little wilted right now. You can bring them outside to help them recover. Just remember to bring them in before temperatures go below 40 degrees. It appears that if you tied your trees together tightly, they will eventually fuse. I do not think that you even need to repot them to do this. Aside from the occasional trim, I am going to allow my tree to grow freely for the next three years. This way the trunks will fuse much faster. It may take you a little while longer for your trees to fuse because you live further up north.
