And the fact Main has not died way before her baptism makes sense in light that she did indeed die but got the soul of a different person. In other words, the Main that is currently living has a different soul than the original Main. Is she the same person? She does have the same memories. Or is she someone else? What exactly has become of the soul of the old Main? Is she gone or did she get transported into another body in another world as well?

Not sure how far into it you are, but the character does theorize what happened to their body’s previous owner later on.

In that case you’ve come to the most they’ll ever talk about this subject. I’ve been reading the light novel as they come out in English (just started part 4) and they haven’t touched on it any further. Personally, my take is that Myne of the fantasy world died, and now the new Myne that isekai’d lives again and inherits the body, but no memories or anything else. It was hinted to at the beginning and I felt that there isn’t any more to talk about after episode 8.

Actually she does have some of the former Main's memories. Though she did have to make effort to recall. At the same time she also retains memories when she was in her old body.

Either way, those don’t pop up anymore. The most this will be touch on is in s1, and you’ve seen most of it now. I might be forgetting something later on, but it’s really not much of a big deal.

Does this mean that her having memories of the old Main is silently retconned without explanation? Or that later parts simply gloss over it and there is still room for her to have such memories if the writer chooses to?

I guess the memories could come back in a way, but I honestly forgot she had memories. Part 3 and the beginning of 4 definitely don’t bring it up, and I think the anime ends halfway through part 2, which again I don’t remember Myne bringing them up. I genuinely think that that bit of storytelling is a way for Myne to progress and come to terms of this being her body now.

i think that the other soul died and if the new soul hadn’t come in than the body would have died too (speculation by me)

It's simply that from the very beginning Myne barely knew anything. It doesn't come up because there is nothing useful to remember.

Also regarding Myne's and Urano's souls. The recent Fanbook confirmed they always shared the same soul. It's just that due to Myne's lack of memories and experiences the soul was never "overwritten" allowing Urano to take over when she was on the brink of death.

it's unclear if previous Myne was a different soul or just a different personality.
it's either Urano's soul inhabited Myne's body when Myne's soul ust "gave up" on surviving, or that urano's personality resurfaced as the other, young personality that wasn't remembering her past life gave up.

From Myne/Urano' s perspective, either case don't change anything about what she perceived anyway.
There is no retcon, Myne/Urano has the full memory of "previous myne". That's why she also could converse with her surrounding, since she had the memory of Myne's knowledge about the language.
However, "previous myne" was a bedridden 5 years old child that could barely step outside at all.
So previous Myne had never seen a book nor didn't knew the word, so Myne/Urano didn't know how to say it in that new language; same for other stuff, like why she didn't know if there was a writing language and so on; because original Myne had no clue about it either.
