The dealer is definitely negligent here because the dealer has just made it impossible to know how much the guy actually has, it's just turned into a guessing game. Allowing a player to rathole in the middle of the hand? Yeah, I'd say that qualifies as negligent if the dealer saw it happen.

What would you like for the dealer to do? He saw it happen as it was happening. I am certain if he knew it was about to happen he would have told the guy not to do it.

I'd like the dealer to at least say something. It's clearly not the dealer's fault that it happened, but to see something that's clearly not allowed and just sit there like it's nothing? At least a "sir, you need to put those chips back on the table until the hand is over".

Are you of the opinion that dealers should let people rathole and just not say anything? Again, i don't think the dealer is negligent in letting it happen, i think they're negiligent in having seen it happen and just sitting there silently.

It depends on the room. if this is a room (or game) where the players are allowed to tell the dealer to STFU and then ignore him the dealer speaking up doesn't really do much.

This always comes as a surprise to people that haven't been around these games much, but there are many casinos where the players are allowed to tell the dealer to STFU or throw things at him for talking. If you are playing in one of these places you should expect the dealer to not talk.
