(something like a "sea of electrons")

Yes, metals can form complexes. Like, Pt2(PPh3)6 and things of that nature. I wasn't exactly wholly attentive in inorganic, but we discussed many complexes of that sort. I hope this answers your question, I'm not sure what you meant by "sea of electrons". Usually that term talks about metal in it's elemental state, made into sheets/wires, where the electrons are free to move when voltage is applied.

metals bond with metals on a molecular basis everyday. I think its called a metal bond, ur on the right track with the sea of electrons. But copper bonds to itself, therefore making it malleable and ductile. So metals have to bond directly to themselves in order to have metal properties.

Cr2H2 has five bonds between the two chromium atoms in a linear fashion and the two hydrogens are at 90 degrees to those bonds on either side of the molecule.

yes there are metal metal bonds. you get multiple bonds 2+ out of it. I think the max confirmed to date is 4

metal can bond to metal , using adhesive or so, it is jus a matter of what type of adhesive to use to get the best result

Yep. Ever heard of welding or electroplating?
