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

Yes. I believe the universe is alive and conscious, as we are part of it and we are conscious like the brain is the only conscious part of you, but you are more than just a brain (though this is debatable.)
This isn't new-agey BS, this is my interpretation of the way physics works. If one thinking thing is out there, part of the Universe thinks and therefor the whole Universe has thoughts and is therefor alive.
As the great and powerful Carl Sagan put it: "We are the universe contemplating itself."
We ARE (part of) the Universe, and we are observing it and thinking about it (heh- the universe is thinking about philosophy)
