Answer 1

I don't know if this will count as an answer but my .tfignore file only seems to be taken into account when checking in individual projects, if I do a check in from the solution it is completely ignored. I've tested it on several machines at this point and see the same pattern. So I have to have my team either manually going through and excluding files when doing a full solution check in or just checking in individual projects. Both are horrible work arounds but at this point I haven't found a better solution.

You're probably not missing any syntactic subtleties, .tfignore is a new feature in VS2012 and seems to also require TFS2012.
