The copy is created in and cast from exile. You must still follow any timing restrictions, such as “Cast [this spell] only during combat.”
If the copied card has in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value when casting the copy. Don’t confuse that with the in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist’s ability.
If the exiled card is a split card, then X is determined by the combined mana cost of both halves. However, when you cast the copy, you choose only one half to cast. You may cast a different half each time you create and cast a copy.
