Questions regarding Echoing Truth & tokens:
1) If I played Mogg War Marshal & Empty the Warrens, does Echoing Truth bounce both?
2) If I played Midsummer Revel & Hunting Pack, does Echoing Truth bounce both?
3) I'm 99.99% sure the answer to this question is no but I'm going to ask anyways; if I played Call of the Herd & Empty the Warrens, does Echoing Truth bounce both?

It bounces all creatures with the same name. If it's a Goblin token and you create goblins with another card and it's a Goblin token they will both still be bounced. Now if it's a Squee, Goblin Nabob goblin token (Don't know how'd this happen just a card with goblin in the name) and a Goblin in play and they bounce the Goblin token the Squee, Goblin Nabob token stays in play.

Wastedlife explained why, so here are the simple answers:
1) It doesn't bounce the Marshall, but it does bounce any tokens the Marshall has made.
2) It would bounce the tokens made by each, yes.
3) No. Beast is not Goblin.
As a small note: With few exceptions a token's name and creature type are the same.

The exceptions are when a card says to "create a token named [insert name here] into play with [insert ability text]," like Dark Depths for example, makes a Marit Lage token, as opposed to a giant indistinct kraken token. Another exception are cards like Kiki, who creates tokens that are copies, and thus still have the same name as the copied creature.

The exceptions I were thinking of were Kaldra (created by the Helm of Kaldra) and Stangg-Twin (created by Stangg). These have names but no creature types.

Actually, both of those tokens have creature types. Kaldra has the creature type Avatar, and the Stangg-Twin token that Stangg makes has the creature type Stangg-Twin.
(For reference: Stangg (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=stangg), Helm of Kaldra (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=helm%20of%20kaldra))

Ok. Kaldra still has a different name and creature type. That is always the big one I think of (I always try futiely to make a Kaldra deck so I can show off the hot Kaldra promo art)

Also, this isn't terribly related, but Call of the Herd makes Elephant tokens, not Beast tokens.
