If I have a bowed personality, with Candle of Shadows attached (unbowed), and I have an unbowed personality with an Tsi Blade attached (unbowed), and I go to declare an attack and assign my infantry units.
Can I assign the personality w/Tsi Blade, react draw a card w/Tsi balde reaction, then unbow the bowed personality w/Candle of Shadows reaction and assign him since he is now unbowed also in the infantry phase?

No.
Infantry Manoeuvres; The Attacker chooses, from his home, any number of his units whose Personality is unbowed. He assigns these units to any battlefields in any arrangement desired.
The choice of whom to assign is made before any assignments, ie Reactions to an assignment occur after the choice is completed.
