Is the amount of money, equivalent to 10% of his profits, that a husband spends with the intention of donating it for the sake of Allah included in his annual Zakat funds, or is it separate from them?

on wealth is an obligatory duty on both the principal amount and the profit, provided it reaches the (threshold) and a full hawl (lunar year) has passed over it. Voluntary charity does not suffice in its place. The decision to donate a percentage of the profit is not considered a vow unless the owner explicitly states something indicating a commitment to it. In such a case, the vow must be fulfilled, and it would be separate from the zakat on wealth.
