My question is how did James etc. know about the portkey at all?  Do the
echoes trapped inside the wand have a working knowledge of what's going on
around them?  Could they have known already about the portkey, since
Voldemort knew?  And were helplessly trapped inside, unable to do anything
at all to stop it?

Well, considering we haven't really heard anything from Voldemort's point of
view, we don't know what he really tells people.  I think he in the past
had, and will in the future have more supporters than we know of.  The Death
Eaters are the elite.  There are supporters that aren't actually in the
inner circle.  For those who do support Voldemort, they have been lulled
into believing he is their answer.
