To "take your time with someone" means to be particularly patient or careful with someone, to not rush or hurry things with them.

What's "B-T-S-N-double-O-P" mean?
The spelling out of B-T-S-N-double-O-P is a joining of the name "BTS" and "Snoop" for "Snoop Dog." They are both featured in the song. The "double o" means the two "o's" ["O-O"] in "S-N-O-O-P." The "N" also functions as an "and" shortened form. So it sounds like "BTS and double OP" Ex: BTS n' Coldplay did a great song together. = BTS and Coldplay did a great song together. Ex: If you put "Snoop" and "BTS" together, you get "B-T-S-N-O-O-P". Ex: You spell "Goose" with a double O.

Would it sound awkward if I say "do" instead of "have" in this sentence?
Yes, it would sound awkward to say "do" instead of "have" since they're talking about the baked good he has with him. It's a possessive object, so "have" is used. Whereas "do" is an action verb, so it would sound awkward when talking about possessing an item. However, you could say "What do you have for us?" instead of "got". Ex: What do you have for us today, Dave? Ex: What have you got in your bag? => possessive objects

Is this true that the clause after "otherwise" normally the negative one?
"Otherwise" is used to explain what might be/become the case if not for something else. For example, in order to not be late for school, one should get up on time. Thus, the way to explain this can be: "You should get up on time, otherwise you'll be late for school." "Otherwise" is not necessarily always used to explain the potential negative consequences of an action, as it can be used to describe things positively as well. Ex: The book is a little worn, but otherwise it's in great condition. Ex: You can find the school by walking down this way, otherwise you can take the shuttle bus directly.
