It's very unlikely that a galaxy collision would meaningfully affect anything for us except our view of the night sky (over millions of years).
Well over the course of the collision, the solar system could get ejected from the galaxy. But also the collision is predicted to occur nearly 10 billion years from now so the sun would have already consumed Earth. Overall, probably a bad thing for the economy
It depends whether we're observing, involved, or committed. (A la TV viewer, TV chef, chicken)
