Is there any way to receive my ecash in a different minibits wallet that uses the same seed? When I create the token and send it to my new phone, it says that it has already been signed before. I'm able to claim the token by the wallet that created the token.
Is there anyway to preserve my lightning address?

Having a mnemonic that doesn't actually restore any of the funds seems pretty useless, IMO.
My guess is you have to export the proofs and import them somehow since your tokens are stored locally. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable (or nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv) can help. I found this under the cashu.me advanced settings for example. Good luck and keep me posted. 🤙 
Ecash can not correctly live in two wallets in parallel. Ability to recover from seed phrase brings unfortunately the need, that each ecash secret key is derived using sequence number.
If you set up two wallets with the same seed, those sequencers will collide, resulting to mint complaints you mention.
Current way to move #Minibits to new device if the old one is available and avoiding the full seed recovery is:
1. Check mint info page > on device info > proofsCounter for highest sequencer value on old device
2. Install wallet on new device. Do not enter Recovery from seed. Get to the wallet and add your mint(s).
3. Go to Backup and recovery. Push Increase recovery indexes so that you reach above the value from old wallet
4. Send ecash from old to new wallet, e.g. using auto-assigned new wallet address as recepient.
5. Enter your seed from the old wallet to Recover wallet address option in Backup and recovery
You're done, uninstall old wallet with zero balance. Other option is to go through full seed recovery, that increases sequencers in the process. However it's much slower, mainky in case old wallet had long history.
Is there any way to restore my old lnaddress? When I restored the wallet address, it chose to restore an auto-generated one (feudalbleat250) not my custom one (duck)
I was able to recover all the funds. I still have the old wallet.
If you enter the seed from the old duck wallet to new wallet's address recovery, you should get the duck fly to the new wallet.
when I did that, it prompted me to restore feudalbleat250 (I hadn't noted what it was before)
When I checked the counters, one mint only had a single counter of 0 while the other had multiple counters with the largest being 23. When I hit the increase index button it said it was increasing by 50, so I assume that was sufficient.
Yes
I checked the address server and see the issue. You had really old wallet from before seed recovery of addresses was born.
I'll coordinate the fix over DM.
