These ‘black bodies’ are not dark, they are highly redshifted quasars, redshifted by their core density.

This conversion of a huge portion of a galactic core that is light years acroos into radiant energy - yes, this could involve major league velocities in close proximity to the galaxy...initially, the separations would be highly Newtonian.

If small mass means large redshift, why stars don't have huge redshifts? Why the Moon doesn't have z=10?
Extremely dense, not small in mass. The idea is every galaxy contains a quasar-like high density redshift mass in the center. The more less-dense matter orbiting or infalling at increasing distances, the lower the redshift we observe for the entire structure.

That is a possibility, especially if the galaxy is not associated with a cluster (they may all be associated). When two galaxies are near enough that the do collide, we certainly have evidence they may form a single galaxy. It is possible all spiral galaxies are the result of galactic collisions - in Lee Davis's theory, bar galaxies are formed when to ellipticals collide and they eventually age into spirals.
