I presumed he just knew there'd be a countdown at some point (remember how the Master says he can never resist one?), and had people waiting for that. And it was being announced from loudspeakers &c, so everyone would know when it was time.
The dog behaviour was presumably just to lull the Master into a sense of security, and to keep himself at the hub of Archangel. Perhaps even the escape attempt was part of that - as with the gun, the Master would know the Doctor would try *something*, so best to throw him off the scent of just what.
Martha carried on because it was the only chance they had. And Hell, perhaps that much psychic energy would at least temporarily have resurrected him, or at least created something like the Watcher from Logopolis.
The guards &c presumably do remember it all, but weren't they UNIT anyway? They're trained for that sort of craziness.
