Okay, yes, current position is not quite correct, but you can replace each instance of it with “the position of the Sun after the same amount of time as it takes for light to get to the Earth from the Sun, according to an observer that is stationary and on neither,” but that’s a mite clumsy (and still not totally correct, but good enough)


What does “stationary” mean?


Poor wording there as well :)

Perhaps “not experiencing net force“


You have reinvented inertial reference frame, but that doesn’t give you what you want either.
