How do I get local currency (Soum) in exchange for US$ / EUR, etc?

A.) You can exchange money in the local forex office in the hotel where you are staying. Please note that in Uzbekistan, there is a prevalent black market where the rate is higher than the banking rate, BUT this is considered illegal by law, and since these people operate in open markets, bazaars and streets, it could attract the attention of the police and lead to arrest. Please also note that old or damaged currency notes are not generally accepted, or you would only be able to exchange them at a lower rate.
