Hello, if I have Quest for the Gravelord in play and then a token dies, does it count as a quest counter? To my understanding, when tokens die they will go to the graveyard first before it is removed out of the game.
Question #2: If you unearth Hellspark Elemental or Hellspark Elemental, at end of turn, after it gets sacrificed, will it get exiled immediately or will it go to the graveyard first before it gets removed out of the game?

it is exiled from the start, never goes to the graveyard.
1. When tokens die, they are put into the graveyard, then cease to exist when State-Based Actions are checked and the game sees that tokens exist in a zone other than the battlefield.
110.5e A token that's phased out, or that's in a zone other than the battlefield, ceases to exist. This is a state-based action; see rule 704. (Note that if a token changes zones, applicable triggered abilities will trigger before the token ceases to exist.)
2. The Unearth ability generates a replacement effect that states "If this would leave the battlefield, it is exiled instead." Therefore, it never goes to the graveyard.
702.81a Unearth is an activated ability that functions while the card is in a graveyard. "Unearth [cost]" means "[Cost]: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step. If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery."
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

Question 2, from the reminder text of Unearth:
It never hits the graveyard.
correct, gravelord will trigger
it is exiled from the start, never goes to the graveyard.
I doubt your friend is cheating you, it's likely he just doesn't understand all the rules.
