Do they increase the actual power emitted or just create interference? i.e. should one be concerned health-wise if many of those are used? (assuming one believes in RF in these frequencies being harmful).

It's kind of a pointless question. If you believe RF can hurt you, it has no bearing on the fact that it can't and doesn't.

well, high enough levels of RF (ie, well above routine public exposure) can burn.

Sure, and if you stare into a focused microwave emitter you'll cook your brains.
That's like saying light is harmful because looking directly at the sun or a high-powered laser will blind you.
Focused beams are outside the scope of this question because we're dealing with cell transmitters.
