Why do we write in general certain eigenfunctions with constants when the weights depend on the hamiltonian?
It’s not clear what you mean here.
The eigenstates are indeed as you describe, but since $\vert \uparrow\downarrow\rangle$ and $\vert \downarrow\uparrow\rangle$ have the same eigenvalue, any linear ...
