I can confirm that you can assign external users with Pro license. Anybody that need to view reports in power bi service, will need a pro license (unless theres a premium capacity)
afaik, you cant assign license to external users. They have to get it from their own tenant. Edited: You can assign Pro license to external users
You can however, get premium capacity and host your report on it. This way your external users just need to have a free powerbi account.
