"Same room" during a meeting for muting concept
It's a suggestion we've seen before in this thread, please vote for it on the feedback portal as per the original thread https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/allow-muting-a-person-only-for-me/m-p/3286181#M110975
I would add that in your solutions you've only considered the audio experience, there is also the mic to consider. If both people in the room had unmuted mics the speech would be picked up twice, there could also be feedback due to a speaker and mic in the same area but across devices. A tricky problem.
Microsoft's current recommendation would be that your room had a Teams Room System which would act as the sole mic and speakers, and your attendees can join from their laptops with muted mic and speakers if they want to share or view content.

The mic shouldn't be an issue if you select a mic with low enough gain.
