Was the F100 a growth of the F70 or was the F70 a shrink of the F100?
The Fokker 70 was a shrink of the Fokker 100. Fokker 100 flew for the first time in 1986 and Fokker 70 flew for the first time 7 years later.

Hasn't the 737 got some 'grandfather rights' about the number of exits, that enable an extra row of seats, compared to an Airbus 320 of the same length?

If Boeing change the the 737 too radically they loose these grandfather rights and have to put two more exits in each A/C.

Vague rumblings in my grey matter :8

It seems obvious that Boeing have been panicked into action to prevent Airbus from gaining the total order.

According to a leading aviation magazine, the Boeings CEO talked at the Paris Airshow about an all-new aircraft with new technology which already exists, as a replacement for the B737 which could enter service by 2019. He also said they would make the right decision at the right time.

The chairman of leasing company ALC also unofficially dubbed the new aircraft as the B797.

That was at the airshow when Boeing officially said they would not re-engine.

When Boeing announced the 737 re-engine, they stated that they pushed the new aircraft off until at least mid decade (2025)
