Cross Server Friends List/Linkshell

Yes. Read the patch notes:

Players will now be able to share information with those they have recently partied with via the Contact List feature.


The Contact List can be found under Social in the Main Menu.
The character and World names of the last fifty people you have formed a party with via the Duty Finder and Raid Finder. This also includes any cross-world party members. The following features can be accessed by selecting a player from the Contact List and opening the subcommand menu:

Player characters on your World Server

Send Tell
Invite to Linkshell
Send Friend Request
Add to Blacklist
Target
Player characters on a different World Server
Add to Blacklist

from reading that it seems like the only option for people in other servers is to blacklist?

Sadly, it is.
I hope they can adjust this later, so you can add people from other servers to your friend list/invite to linkshells/more comfortable way to form parties/etc. (Like Blizzard did with WoW long time ago)

I don't think so. I think that's a typo. They said the contact list effects all including players from a different world. And that last line does not make sense as a sentence and is out of place imo

The patch notes are very explicit. Pori-Pori is right in their observation that you will only be able to blacklist others on other servers, though I have the feeling that the infrastructure has been set up for this request to be met in future patches.
