There are some proposals for Non-blocking collectives before the MPI
forum currently and I believe a working implementation which can be used
as a plug-in for OpenMPI, I would urge you to look at these rather than
try and implement your own.

Your code both does all-to-all communication and also uses probe, both
of these can easily be avoided when implementing Barrier.

Yes, there is a message queue interface allowing tools to peek inside
the MPI library and see these queues. That I know of there are three
tools which use this, either TotalView, DDT or my own tool, padb.
TotalView and DDT are both full-featured graphical debuggers and
commercial products, padb is a open-source text based tool.
