How Long Does it Take for MOZ Local to Fully Be Done
Clearly, "up to 4 weeks" is a mistake, right? Perhaps the question should be rephrased - "How long before Moz Local shows as 100% Complete?"

My Website Just Got Penalized
There was an update today and it was pretty ugly. If your drop was in the last 24-48 hours, that might have been the culprit. Did you use C-class IPs on the blogs? Or were they hosted on different hosts? Did you interlink the blogs? Theres some silly rankings going on, sites with 1 backlink ranking for 25k monthly searched keyword.

301 Redirecting Multiple Domains
As you said blogs setup for different geo locations. Would it serve purpose if you redirect all of them to a single website/blog? I mean they must been for varied geographic targets. I case you are contemplating to discontinue all of them and redirect them to one so that you can focus all your efforts at a single place then it can be a good idea but make sure you redirect (map) specific pages/posts to the corresponding new pages. Simply redirecting all the domains to a single domain will not help much. You should keep in mind the user comfort as well. Regards

Homepage Links - Does My Site Have to many
your page looks very clean on user side, you're showing links in your navigational portion of the page to your inner pages (level 1) as needed. What I don't understand is why you have links to level 2 pages (the further sections of level 1 pages) even if they're not clickeable. This is not a big cloacking issue but you're actually showing to users and bots different version of the page. If I were you I'll remove the links to level 2 pages and links to level 1 pages only from your homepage. The value to level 2 pages will be passed from the level 1 pages and then navigational links will make the juice flow up again to upper levels. This seems to me very natural, I'll only remove those hidden links in the homepage so you'll be easily below the 100 threshold.

Domain Forwarding / Multiple Domain Names / or Rebuild Blogs on them
I think there are 2 ways to do it. (Quick version) redirect all pages from your old domains to the new domain, however if you have links with specific keywords pointing to old posts, all the weight will be transfered to your new home page and most likely the content will be far different from the original post, and you might loose some positions you used to have on some posts. (Long version) scrape all the old articles, put them on your new server, then redirect each article independently from your old site to the new site. ie: redirect from www.myoldsite.com/article123 to www.mynewsite.com/article445 This way you keep all valuable links pointing to these post, but also the context of each link will match the content of the page like nothing happened (if you have such link of course). I am no expert in blogs, but I did the long version with our online store for each products and it worked like a charm. I kept the contextual links, pagerank and position for each one of them.
