When I re-read this it does seem to me like Robin's advice to the crew really is potentially helpful, rather than leading them to a trap. Whether she just wants to spread chaos or is in some ways hedging her bets - and perhaps actually finding Vivi's situation rather sympathetic - is another question. She's probably already intrigued by Luffy for his having the letter D in his name, like Saul and Roger did. (Robin would likely know his real name was Gol D. Roger, not Gold Roger.)
In any case, we know she's not reporting this to Crocodile, at least not all of it, as he still didn't know of Sanji and Usopp being in the crew before Rain Base
About the age span of giants: Isn't that mentioned by Oimo and/or Kashi when they talk to Usopp?
Personally I always thought Dorry and Brogy were acting really irresponsibly. If they had just been individual warriors wanting to spend 100 years bashing each other, okay, but they were both captains. And them going on for so long did bring problems to Oimo and Kashi as they set out to look for them. I accept that giants and Usopp wouldn't share this view, though.
About Mr 3's speech quirks, does it have anything to do with money in Japanese? Stephen's fan translation has him using money-based expressions a lot. The Swedish translation doesn't have that, instead making him add "då då" to the end of his lines (literally, "then then", as in "okay, then" but doubled). This does make him sound rather whiny and a little prissy, but has no money connotations.
I liked that little bit with Vivi's adventurousness and how Usopp and Nami remark on it.
ETA: Luffy's nicknames work surprisingly well in Swedish a lot of the time. You just put the word "-gubben" at the end (="old man", informal), making a believable slangy nickname. Iceburg is "isgubben".
