I always remember “toons” referring to your character, rather than your account. Kind of like the “cartoon character” you’re playing is how I understood it.
Last I played years ago I think you could have 10? And that was per server, there were tons of servers to choose from, so if you wanted more, you could.
Isn’t a smurf supposed to be an account from an experienced user/player that’s meant to make them look new or lower ranked?
Smurfing is when a high-level player trolls the lower ranks below their skill level.
Lots of players have smurf accounts for games where high- and low-ranked players don’t get paired together, so they can play on the same team as their lower-ranked friends.
Burner feels like such an old school term. I’ve more often heard “alt”, “Smurf”, or “finsta”. The last being a portmanteau of fake Instagram account

Yes, up to 10 per server, and you could have characters on multiple servers.
I remember seeing the term even while playing pre-WoW MMO’s
