Muhammed's word being mixed up with god's word?

This is a screenshot from "Debating Christian Theism" page 350.
The Quote talks about an alleged Hadith where the audience of Muhammed mixes up his words with Allahs words? What's going on there?

Did the historical Jesus intend his message to reach gentiles?

Did the historical Jesus intend his message to reach gentiles too? Or would he have seen his message as a "exclusively jewish" one. Was the idea that gentiles can also be saved etc. a later development that started with Paul? What did Peter, James and the other Apostles think ?

Does the Quran see itself as the literal word of god?

Does the Quran - by that I mean the mushaf with the 114 Surahs - see itself as the literal word of god? Or does it see itself as some kind of „medium“ which just „contains“ or „communicates“ or „translates“ God‘s word to an audience or person?

What is the relationship between the different Quran-Corpora that were circulating around before the Uthmanic Standardization

Between the death of the historical Muhammed in the year 632 CE and the Uthmanic Standardization around 650 CE, there were other Quran-Corpora circulating around. Namely the one of: 1. Ubayy b. Kab; 2. Abd Allah Ibnʿʿ Masūd; 3. Abū Mūsa Al-Ash’ari; 4. Miqdād b. al-Aswad.
Besides that scholars have identified another text-type, known as the C-1 (Sanaa) text type. According to scholars like francois deroche the Sanaa manuscript is none of the above mentioned text-types, but actually a 5th one. One could also speculate that there probably was a "proto-uthmanic" text-type circulating around before the Uthmanic Standardization around the year 650 ce. The codex of Abu Bakr which is mentioned in the Hadith Literature could very well take the place of this "proto-uthmanic" text type. So overall there seem to have been the following text types between 632-650 CE:

(1) Ubayy b. Kab

(2) Abd Allah Ibnʿʿ Masūd

(3) Abū Mūsa Al-Ash’ari

(4) Miqdād b. al-Aswad

(5) C-1 (Sanaa)

(6) (Proto-)Uthmanic

My question is how these six different text types relate to each other exactly? While there are differences between the different Text-Types / Codices, they seem to be quite negligible? So how did these variant text-types come to be? Was there ever an "original quran copy" or anything like that? And if there was, how exactly would it have looked like? Do any of the non-uthmanic text-types preserve better readings then the uthmanic text-type / are more "reliable" or authentic? How do different scholars view that?
