Don't know. Am not using them on archival or historic items. Thjs glue is fast, easy and washes out easily. Acid free is pretty particular. I doubt acid free of any kind would be the same price as this glue stick.

Is it water soluble to use for basting fabrics and not gumming up your machine?

Personally, I would not use this for "basting"unless it's a small wall hanging. If machine is gumming that could be a real problem. Schmetz needles now come in a no stick line of different sizes. Have been quilting for quite a while. 505 spray does have a bit of smell. A very light spray works wonders for securing the batting to the fabric.. As a last suggestion, consider a very large/wide/long zig zag to secure pieces of batting or fabrics. (unless the machine only does straight stitch). This glue has been used on several different sewing projects and have been overall pleased. Have not seen any glue residue after project is washed.

do they come in a box? I'm buying to donate to my daughters school and I need them to be in a box

They come in a single white Amazon Basics Box, very neatly packed in. I use them for 3D printing, but you should have no issue gifting to a class room.

Will these work for for kids craft of foam and mini Pom poms , set came with glue dots but seems glue sticks easier if they hold more than paper?

I think this is better suited for construction paper. I might recommend a tacky glue like Elmer's fir the pom poms and foam.
