Last Friday, I was on my way home and to make it short, I forgot to latch my passenger t-top, and it blew off and exploded into a billion pieces in the middle of the road. My question is, since the old lock matches the rest of the car locks, instead of having two keys, can I switch over the old lock to a junkyard t-top, and if so, how do I do that? Thanks.

You can do that. Its actually pretty easy. If you pull the inner trim (has 2 screws and then its held on with clips if I remember correctly) you can access the lock cylinder. it should just have a clip retaining it to the t top. pull it and then pull the cylinder to transfer it to the new t top.
