I am not sure how bad the Bump it up comment is. I have been at tables where people get crazy and just cap PF blind. Its not like there is an advantage there for them. The advantage in that scenario is actually yours, since you dont have any money in the pot yet, and can only enter is with premiums. The always raising people out, and then signal comments are collustion. But the blind raising is usually just for fun.

Say nobody had heard their comment and also that the other players at the table were relatively weak. So, there's $7 in the pot pre-flop. UTG raises and his buddy re-raises. If nobody has a strong hand, they take the kill and both blinds w/o any problem. Then of course, if somebody does call, they're playing the hand 2 against 1. How is that not an advantage???

You're combining two different things here. The key is that everyone can hear their plan and no one has any information on the cards yet. Once the cards are out and added info is known, THEN it's worth bitching about if they're still yapping.

Irrelevant.
Simply raising blind preflop isn't colluding.
You can't force someone to look at their hand before raising. Adjust accordingly.
Btw...Preflop capped straddles are great when you have a nice hand to come in with behind them.
