The report button doesn't file a valid DMCA takedown request, so probably not.

Pretty sure that's not how the law works.

"The Law" absolutely runs on "when did this piece of paper arrive at this location". I don't know about DCMA specifically, but yes, most cases where one actor claims another actor is doing something wrong require the reporter to follow specific steps or it's not valid.

This is nonsense. Google cannot simply provide a fake or broken button and get away with it. If Google is required to provide a mechanism for reporting DMCA violations in a timely manner, and they do not, they're going to found liable no matter what kind of excuse they provide.
