Unfinity Gameplay Mechanics

Suppose I'm playing Unfinity draft. I play Octo Opus, then use Exchange of Words to swap the token's text box with my opponent's Mind Goblin. I then cast Phone a Friend, and the friend chooses A, letting me take control of the Mind Goblin. On my next upkeep, can I fold Mind Goblin in half?

No. You can’t fold a card you do not own.

Token Text Box Query

The text box of a token or vanilla creature is considered empty for purposes of Exchange of Words, correct?

It can have flavor text or a watermark which can matter in Un-games.

Exchange of Words Query

Hi Mark, Un-rules question. I have a Juggletron and another creature on the battlefield and cast Exchange of Words. Text boxes are swapped. Does the ability of Juggletron no longer function when the other creature attacks because it's name isn't Juggletron, or does it because Juggletron in the rules text functionally means "this card", as per the explanation of the rules for tokens in the release notes?

The name means “this card”.

Seraph's Eternal Potential

Since Exchange of Words is eternal, do you think Do-It-Yourself Seraph would be eternal if it were first printed here?

I’m not sure.

Name Change Mechanics

I didn't see this asked, so hopefully I didn't miss it. If a card's rules text refer to it's own Card name, and it's name is changed with a sticker, does it's text box still function. (I guess same question for Exchange of Words)

Yes.

Card Legality

Quick check — is Exchange of Words acorn or eternal? The effect seems out of place in eternal, and I know there have been some issues with the stamp in previous spoilers.

It is surprisingly eternal. I was shocked when Jess said the rules could handle it. One of the side effects of Unfinity having eternal cards is there are eternal designs I would probably have never made if I thought when I was making it that it would be eternal.
