I would like to just have the message highlighted and the simply click
a toolbar button or something to mark it as SPAM and add it to the
blocked senders.

Outlook has no way to mark a message as spam. Menu-button-J-B will add the
sender of the selected item to the blocked list.

I am not too opposed to some safe third party add on if there are
suggestions, but thought there might be something built in Outlook I
am missing.

Nope.
