In the Eli pdf, Word-Forces for a Tether, which is still a Word, are costed at the same 10 as regular Forces. I would stick with that.

For what it's worth, "being a Word-bound Seneschal" is there as an Advantage given a cost of 66 points, and includes all the usual powers of that post described in regular IN, although those are not costed out individually. Beth gave us the breakdown in the playtest. This is independent of the number of Forces provided by the Tether Word. Being an Attuned Seneschal would have cost 33. Being a Seneschal gives rather more powers than simply being Word-Bound, though; for the most part the latter seems to be an awareness of the state of the Word, some rate of extra Essence, Heavenly Rank, and the ability to provide Rites and Attunements if your Word is strong enough.

I have no thoughts on Dream-Joining.
