I'm looking for a way to have the textbox act like a speech bubble of shorts. The idea would be that it would be tied to the current speaking character, speech bubble style so that for example, when they change positions in the screen, it follows them. Or when the speaking character changes, the textbox jumps to its sprite. Clover Days does this, for example. Is there any way to do something like this? I'm assuming you'd have to somehow tie the sprite and the character together and then have the textbox reposition itself depending on the sprite, but I have no idea how to do that

In the newest version of Ren'Py there are speech bubbles! I haven't tried them out, but maybe you can use them?

I'm yet to see a game that makes use of this feature, but here is a link to the documentation:
