How does a particle wave collapse. Like does it suck up background energy at one point (at the speed of light) and reform into a particle, or what?

have you heard about the hidden variables theory?

Depends on the interpretation of QM you're using.

No.

That wavefunction is just some math that can be used to predict observations, and the math works. But if it actually described reality and a physical process no one has a fucking clue and people have been arguing about it for over a century.
