Google Voice may save a number as a home number, and in that mode it will not allow you to forward messages. In order to change that there's an option in legacy site.

Turn on filter spam in settings.

You can also turn on screen calls where they would have to say a name and you can pickup or reject the call.
Spam filter is on but they randomly spoof numbers and I assume it therefore never gets registered.

If you screen calls but don't answer, are they able to leave voicemails?

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I think it gets sent to voicemail if you decline it.

Try logging in from a computer with an American IP and see if it gives you options to send them a message

I doubt incoming traffic is considered activity.

In their warning emails about inactive numbers they write:
