What you describe above, suggests passenger alarms used for no good

Don't some tube trains have CCTV in them now? Could the drivers not
take a look in the carriage via the cam and if its obviously youths
dicking about and just pulling the alarm for the hell of it then just
cancel the alarm and continue as normal?

No, it latches down and has to be physically reset with a J door key.
