We would not be sun-transiting to them, at least at the moment: the current declination of Ross 128 happens to be less than 1 degree [1], meaning it's near the celestial equator rather than near the ecliptic. Since the ecliptic plane is at 23.5 degrees to the equator, they would see the Sol-Earth system tilted at that angle: much too large to be sun-transiting.
