Look in all areas, call in your own. That's been a good, solid mantra. Yeah, I'll call obstruction every time I see it in my area and in a partner's area when I am convinced the partner was screened or looking elsewhere.
In this play, U3 is (probably) in a great calling position with a 90-degree angle and U1 is with a very poor angle and far away. U1 has no business making that call in the play that was described.
As for walking off the field - bye - don't let that door hit your backside 'cuz it is closed behind you and you ain't gonna open it.
