Does it make sense to speak of "Universal Consciousness" or "Universal Intelligence"?

The evidence you cite is for the mind in general and not particular to dualism. You are right to be critical of the lack of demonstrated mechanism for the monist position, but dualism has the same problem with the added burden of location issues and the effect of physical trauma on the mind.

And the additional burden for monism is explaining why some neural systems are associated with consciousness and others are not. There is clearly an additional process beyond just neural activity.

No, that is not at all clear. The more likely explanation involves complexity of the network.
