9-3-5b in the Illustrated Book on page 74 covers what you are asking in some of your post. A block below the waist in this situation does not seem to indicate that a tackler is trying to reach a runner unless the runner is just on the other side of the blocker.
As for breaking up a wedge, don't let them go in low unless the ball carrier is right behind one of them. Remember that the first reaction you have to someone trying to hit you in the knee is to put your hands down and push them away. If the hands touch first then the contact was initiated above the waist.
