Not a musician, but I think this might interest some people on here.

The description lists 2 authors of this book...

Is it signed by one or both? I wonder...

I agree, but is it at all possible that he is the one signing these?

I think the cost difference when I checked was only several dollars between the signed and unsigned books. Is that a reasonable premium for such a famous and reclusive artist?

I think it's safe to say with like a (~99.999999% certainty) these books will be signed by Ai Weiwei, and there's like a ~.05% chance the translator signs it too. That's what's so fun about this hobby, generally speaking when you find something like this early the value doesn't make any sense.

From what I have seen B&N usually only charges a few dollars more for their signed books. That is of course as long as they are not some sort of special edition exclusive to the signed copies.

Anyone else seeing a pending refund on their credit card for their purchase of this?

I think B&N doesn't really charge you until it ships. They just start off with a pending transaction that may come and go from your card. I ordered a signed George Bush book a few weeks ago from them and my card just got charged yesterday for it when it shipped.
