Maximal split torus of universal chevalley group

By Lemma 28(b), $H$ is an abelian group generated by the $h_i(t)$'s (where $h_i = h_{\alpha_i}$), and since each $h_i$ is multiplicative (by Lemma 28(a)), the existence follows. To prove uniqueness, …

Twisted root subgroups in twisted Chevalley groups (reference request)

As indicated in Martin Seysen's comment, this construction can be found in Carter's book "Simple Groups of Lie type". More precisely, this is Proposition 13.6.3, and your "naive approach" is indeed ex …
