Successfully implemented OAuth flow within Google Actions context via account linking. However, after token expiration, it asks for user to link the account. Is there a configuration in Google Actions for token auto-refresh in this context so that the user is not re-prompted to link account after doing so already?

Can you clarify your question a bit? What OAuth flow did you implement and how did you implement it? (Implicit vs Auth Code?) Can you show some code to show what you're doing or show some logs to indicate what you are receiving and sending at different stages? There are a lot of possible causes, and seeing how you're doing your OAuth server will help narrow down the possible problems.

Thank you, @Prisoner. It's this app just launched: assistant.google.com/services/a/id/6b5b883eda0cdbc9/?source=web. I configured account linking on Actions on Google console using an Authorization code Grant type. I actually followed your helpful directions from stackoverflow.com/a/44296039/1204142. I suspect what is happening is that I still have the test version of my app still active. I just disabled the test version by clicking the icon to do so at the top of the simulator panel. I will clarify the question if I see that this resolves the problem.

I don't think it resolves the problem. See my answer.

There are multiple problems with the app, to the point I'm a little surprised it got approved.
The first is that if you're using https://stackoverflow.com/a/44296039/1204142, then you should look at the update which indicates that Google is no longer allowing their endpoints to be used for account linking. This may explain why the card doesn't go away. Since it didn't prompt me for scopes after I authenticated myself... I'm not actually sure what it thinks it's doing.
But some code must have been sent, since the Assistant thinks we're linked. Even if the card doesn't go away.
However, when I connect, it prompts me with
OK, would you like anything else?
for the initial prompt. Which doesn't make sense in this context. But if I say "yes" it says
Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Say "help" to know how I can assist you.
If I ask for help, it says
Here's how piggy piggy can help.
and then leaves the mic open without saying anything further.
