Asking people to claim colors before I post publicly is just good sense; I'm much more likely to believe someone is actually blue if they say so before I announce that I'm blue, because they can only probabilistically fake it to me.
Committing your decisions without having info is good sense, but it also makes you less trusted if you're someone who might fake claim.

That said, I think the coin-flipping-who-to-claim-to thing is reasonable; from your perspective, if you think one of me or aok might be lying, you'd rather not place all your eggs in one basket. DO NOT claim to both of us; we will be coordinating shots and such (without saying who's claimed to us), so claiming to both of us only increases your chances of accidentally having someone untrustworthy knowing your alignment and such.
Agreed. Blue team only has so much capability to investigate itself already, and splitting into two groups probably doesn't diminish that capability, for the first few days at least. I would hope more people claim to me though, both because I think you should choose to trust me and because there's already some eggs in the jamb basket.
