Xserif will not work if the font is not designed properly (grouped
into the same family). Does \bf, \bi etc. work if you use
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Eco101Roman}
in XeLaTeX (I guess not).

Leave "[uc]" out. It is not needed (any more). No other font encoding
is supported in XeTeX.

That was the old deprecated syntax. Now the same can be expressed with
% put font name for an installed font here
\definefontsynonym[Eco-Roman][name:Eco101Roman][features=default]
or
% put filename here if kpathsea can find the file in
[texmf]/fonts/opentype/[something]
\definefontsynonym[Eco-Roman][file:Eco101Roman][features=default]
features=default implies "mapping=tlig" (which replaces
"mapping=tex-text") and handles endash, emdash and apostrophe
(ligatures like `? -> reversed question mark, ,, -> quotation mark,
... from tex-text are not present since we considered them
unnecessary)

Same for all of them.

The same comment as above: Xserif won't work for a font which is not
designed properly.

Right, but use the syntax described above. (add [features=default] if
you want to use endash, emdash, ... and prepend name: or file:)
