If the Wanderer soul was not already in a site, and your opponent swapped for your Deck Discard and then placed DD in a site, yes you would have to discard.

If the Wanderer is in a site already, exchanging does not count as "putting the soul in a site."

False, putting a LS in a site means putting a LS in a Site. You may use Exchanger already in a site to activate a "when put in a Site" LS ability.

To my limited knowledge, this is correct.

I've always had it ruled (including at Nats 2011, though I don't remember the specific judge) that "putting a Lost Soul in a site" can only be achieved by 1) putting it in an unoccupied site during your Prep Phase per game rule, or 2) using a special ability that lets you put a soul in a site. I've specifically been told that exchanging with a Wanderer already in a site does not trigger these Souls.

Also, exchanging one of the Judges angels into discard pile is NOT considered a discard of that angel, so why is this exchange different?

Except that it's been ruled the exchange isn't a discard even if you're exchanging for the top card.

It seems inconsistent to rule one thing as equal to another and not something else when it's the same ability (though the whole add to battle sometimes equals band thing doesn't inspire confidence in consistency winning out here).
