Granted, this is regarding the EE, but since that's basically a fancy mod, I doubt it'll make a difference.

So, I have a copy of BG:EE installed on both my old computer and my new computer that just arrived about a week ago. I've installed some mods on both; they work fine on the old computer, but the dialogue isn't displaying properly on the new one. Is it possible to just copy the override folder and dialog.tlk from one to the other to get all the same mods, or do I have to install them separately on the new computer?

The Enhanced editions are strange beasts. They keep two override folders. One in the installation directory and again in 'My Documents'. You need to transfer the entire 'Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition' folder from documents. Be aware that dialogs are injected into the tlk files during installation, so unless you installed the mods in precisely the same order, and with precisely the same options, your game will be corrupt. The bottom line is it's never a good idea to copy installations. You should always reinstall all mods from scratch.
