From my understanding, when you view the Restraints report, you are reviewing the loads due to each restraint definition.

So if in your input, you defined +Y with friction coefficient, the Restraints report shows you the FY, and the FZ&FZ due to friction coefficient multiplied by FY.

And in the same report, the X restraint at the same node would only show FX if you don't define friction with the X restraint definition in your input.

Restraint Summary report would report the total loads at each restraint node point. So that's why you're seeing the sum of the force/moment in each direction.

As far as what you should give to structural, maybe you can check with your structural engineers or company procedure on which way to go. If they would calculate the friction forces based on your normal loads, maybe you don't need to include the loads due to friction when you give it to them. Or maybe it doesn't matter if you feel like the difference is insignificant.
