If I may paraphrase what I've heard Jill say many times - and over the years found to be very true: What's good for site users is usually also good SEO. Its important that SEO techniques like link building are balanced with the true purpose of the site - providing information to sell or promote something. Lose that idea and you lose your visitors.

On the outbound link thing, IIRC the theory is the anchor text of a link can "count" for both the pointed-to and pointing pages, so keeping links strictly page topical and judicious use of anchor text could well benefit both.

How excessive? if they are relevant quality links and organised well on the site its good for users and SEs. Also that the incoming links are useful beyond building PR.
I know a guy that has a dieting site - very competitive topic on SEs. When it became evident about impotance of inbound links he went mad with it. I think the site looks awful, but the site's been doing well on SEs for years and he is getting rich selling diets to thousands of people - maybe millions by now.

As long as every link you put on your site is helpful to the people who visit your site you can't go wrong. That's why you put links on your site. If you're putting links on your site for any other reason, then you're doing things wrong.

Should even bother to link-exchange?
I've herd that Google stopped indexing two-way links. Is that true?

How could there be limits on how many sites you feel your visitors might like? It's not a search engine issue, as it's none of their business. Think about the reasoning behind what you're doing, and it should all become more clear.

Potpot, it may become even clearer when you read this article about whether SEOs Have Lost the Plot.
