Thinking on your “Wildlings as collaborators” theory. The ancient 2 blast signal holds true using this thinking, they would be an intermediary threat that fits before the NW’s primary foes at the time the signal system was established. Could the ancient wildlings be the original pre-Stark Kings of Winter? Could then the wildling-born Mance Raynor be the true King of the North after all, making his blood as potent as the Targs (and the Targ-Descendant Baratheons?)

To take your first point first, that might be a point of evidence in favor or it might be a coincidence. Keep in mind, the wildling mission came much later for the Night’s Watch than the White Walker mission. 

As to your second point, I don’t think there were pre-Stark Kings of Winter.
