I presume when the author writes "There is, sadly, no trace of any of
the stations that were built on the first Underground line..." that he
is referring only to the Baker St to Farringdon section and then only to
the station buildings, rather than the platform area.

Bayswater, and Gloucester Road station buildings are two that still
survive.

Yes, I think he must have been referring to the surface buildings
rather than the platforms, most of which remain in the same place and
don't look dramatically difference (apart from often being built
over). But, as you say, remnants of some original surface buildings do
survive.

Evidence once again that all 'underground' railways - even cut-and-cover - are now regarded as 'The Tube'?

For sure, LU itself recently celebrated "the Tube's" 150th anniversary.
Colloquially it happened many years ago, but it's now official.
