Also, is it correct to say that the point of the TABC sign (Unlicensed carry...) is to make it clear that the area is considered "public" and/or the owner only is willing to tolerate CHLs?

Clearly, IANAL.

IANAL either, but I believe the purpose of the blue sign is it gives persons carrying illegally (or unlicensed persons carrying under the MPA, or carrying for another lawful purpose) notice of greater penalties inside that area than outside on the sidewalk, and that they, or rather their gun, should just stay in the car, where it's legal.

I LOVE the blue sign, It's a reason to get a CHL for some people, many of whom then educate themselves on other issues.

However, it has been said on this forum numerous times, that once you see it, you have to respect it

of course, all of this assumes that the sign (once found) meets all of the other rules as far as size, contrasting color etc.

however, if I were to enter an establishment, and there were no 30.06 signs conspicuously posted at the entrance, and found one later at the back of the store, i will still carry there, as it was not posted at an entrance.

As far as the 51% sign, regardless of where in the store it was seen, it has to be followed, and you should leave immediately.
