Everything we do, everything we interact with, impacts who we are. Uploading is certainly not exempt.

Each running instance of consciousness is a separate 'I'. They may start out similar, or even identical, but they will diverge. (Leaving aside consideration of possible structures of shared consciousness, which is a whole 'nother can of worms.)

"Soul" is used to mean many different things. J seems to be mostly talking about it in terms of 'survival after bodily death', whereas the psyche-transfer question is more about whether the *form* of the body makes a difference. (Which I think it clearly does, though this need not be seen as problematic.)
