But no seriously what happens when the US seizes Chinese and European vessels? I have no clue how maritime law works so I'm a little comfused

Blockade is an outright and clear act of war. Europe will fold and huff about it. China will not retaliate with military force but will permanently stop selling the US some resource that's critically necessary to some foundational industry, like they've been doing with gallium.
