Are there 'give way to the right' or 'both alter heading to starboard' type rules for orbit? You wouldn't want both satellites to alter their orbits in the same direction.

No. The only thing codified in law is that the country of launch bears the liability for the satellite. If there were a collision, the liability to ESA would be due from the US government given that the satellites launched from US soil.
