Sorcerous Spyglass affects cards regardless of what zone they're in. This includes cards in hand, cards in the graveyard, and exiled cards.

An activated mana ability is one that produces mana as it resolves, not one that costs mana to activate.

You can't choose the name of a token unless that token has the same name as a card.
