Is there a City Rex in Boldhome under Argrath? If so, do they have a name in the upcoming material on Boldhome?

Yes.  There's a Leika "the mayor" mentioned under Argrath's Companions in King of Sartar p146.  Or the City King could be the Homeguard Companions (Jenesta the Grim, etc).

Boldhome doesn't exactly have a city confederation of neighboring tribes, its immediate neighbors are part of the Swenstown tribal confederation. The city will have a chief magistrate and leader of the militia fielded by the urban residents, whose number equals one of the larger tribes or two of the more average ones. Also, the Prince will have an appointed deputy to keep the day-to-day business running with the princely seal (or whatever item of authority is required).

If Leika was appointed something like city rex or royal deputy of Boldhome while remaining Colymar king, would that bring the Colymar together with the Boldhome citizenry as another tribal confederation, or would that just give Leika two hats under which she can raise militia?

The City Rex is the ranking Rex, which was for a short time Kallyr, who appointed Randella Offirsdaughter as the city administrator. This is much like how Orngerin Holdfast is City Rex of Jonstown and Jorjera Latish is the City Administrator (see the Starter Set). After Kallyr dies, Leikan* the Stonemason becomes city administrator, which is later confirmed by Argrath (who becomes the City Rex in 1628).

Randella can also be found in KoS 2ed page 200.

The Rex of Boldhome is the Rex of Sartar - aka the Prince of Sartar. That's the representative of Orlanth Rex for all the tribes and cities of Sartar. This is a sacral, judicial, and rulership position. ONLY a member of the Sartar Dynasty can hold this position.

Leikan "the Mayor" is someone who works with the other guilds and temples to try to keep the city functioning in 1626-1627, and is made part of the High Council in 1627.
