Under your conditions, $P(|r|\leq\frac12\big(1+\frac1{n^c}\big)b^2T)$ will usually go to $0$ as $n\to\infty$. So, the lower bound $1-\frac1{n^2}$ on this probability will be impossible. Indeed, for simplicity let $T=1$. Note that $c_b^2:=Var(v_i)=(b^2-1)/12$. Let $u_{ij}:=t_i t_j$, where $t_1,\dots,t_n$ are iid Rademacher random variables (independent of the $v_i$'s), with $P(t_i=\pm1)=1/2$. Let $n\to\infty$. Then \begin{equation} \frac rn=\Big(\frac1{\sqrt n}\sum_{i=1}^n t_i v_i\Big)^2\to c_b^2 Z^2 \end{equation} in distribution, by the central limit theorem, where $Z\sim N(0,1)$. So, for any real $\delta>0$ and all $n>b^2/\delta$, \begin{equation} P(|r|\leq\tfrac12\big(1+\tfrac1{n^c}\big)b^2T) \le P(\tfrac{|r|}n\le\tfrac{b^2}n) \le P(\tfrac{|r|}n\le\delta)\to P(c_b^2 Z^2\le\delta), \end{equation} and the latter probability goes to $0$ as $\delta\downarrow0$. ------------ **Addition in response to the OP's clarifications of the question:** For simplicity, let $T=1$. Suppose first that the $u_{ij}$'s are nonrandom numbers. Then \begin{equation} Er^2=\sum_{i,j,k,\ell} u_{ij}u_{k,\ell}Ev_iv_jv_kv_\ell=\sum_i u_{ii}^2\mu_4 +2\sum_{i\ne \ell} u_{ii}(u_{i\ell}+u_{\ell i})\mu_3\mu_1 \end{equation} \begin{equation} +\sum_{i\ne k} [u_{ii}u_{kk}+u_{ik}(u_{ik}+u_{ki})]\mu_2^2 +\sum_{i\ne k\ne \ell}[2u_{ii}u_{k\ell}+(u_{ik}+u_{ki})(u_{i\ell}+u_{\ell i})]\mu_2\mu_1^2 +\sum_{i\ne j\ne k\ne \ell}u_{ij}u_{k\ell}\mu_1^4, \end{equation} where $\mu_p:=Ev_1^p$, $\sum_{i\ne k\ne \ell}$ denotes the sum over all triples $(i,k,\ell)$ of pairwise distinct $i,k,\ell$, and $\sum_{i\ne j\ne k\ne \ell}$ denotes the sum over all quadruples $(i,j,k,\ell)$ of pairwise distinct $i,j,k,\ell$. Note also that \begin{equation} \sum_{i\ne k\ne \ell}u_{ii}u_{k\ell} =\sum_{k\ne \ell}u_{k\ell}\sum_i u_{ii}-\sum_{k\ne \ell}u_{kk}(u_{k\ell}+u_{\ell k}). \end{equation} Suppose now further that the $u_{ij}$'s are in $[-1,1]\setminus(-1+1/n,1-1/n)$ for all $i,j$ and such that \begin{equation} \sum_i u_{ii}=0,\quad u_{ij}+u_{ji}=0 \text{ if $j\ne i$, }\tag{*} \end{equation} so that \begin{equation} \sum_{i\ne j} u_{ij}=0\quad\text{and hence}\quad \sum_{i,j} u_{ij}=0. \end{equation} E.g., if $n=2m$ is even, we can take $u_{ii}=1$ for $i\le m$, $u_{ii}=-1$ for $i>m$, $u_{ij}=1$ if $i<j$, $u_{ij}=-1$ if $i>j$. Let us consider this case in detail. We have \begin{equation} Er=\sum_{i,j} u_{ij}Ev_iv_j=\sum_i u_{ii}\mu_2+\sum_{i\ne j} u_{ij}\mu_1^2=0+0=0. \end{equation} So, \begin{equation} Var(r)=Er^2=n\mu_4+\sum_{i\ne k} u_{ii}u_{kk}\mu_2^2 +\sum_{i\ne j\ne k\ne \ell}u_{ij}u_{k\ell}\mu_1^4. \end{equation} Next, $\sum_{i\ne k} u_{ii}u_{kk}=\sum_{i,k} u_{ii}u_{kk}-\sum_i u_{ii}^2 =(\sum_i u_{ii})^2-\sum_i u_{ii}^2=0-n=-n$. So, \begin{equation} [Var(r)=]Er^2=n(\mu_4-\mu_2^2) +\sum_{i\ne j\ne k\ne \ell}u_{ij}u_{k\ell}\mu_1^4. \end{equation} Repeating this reasoning with $1$ in place of $v_i$, we get \begin{equation} 0=\Big(\sum_{i,j} u_{ij}\Big)^2=n(1^4-(1^2)^2) +\sum_{i\ne j\ne k\ne \ell}u_{ij}u_{k\ell}1^4, \end{equation} whence $\sum_{i\ne j\ne k\ne \ell}u_{ij}u_{k\ell}=0$ and \begin{equation} Var(r)=Er^2=n(\mu_4-\mu_2^2)=n\,Var(v_1^2)=\tfrac{n}{180} (2 b+1) (8 b+11) \left(b^2-1\right). \end{equation} This is smaller than $n^4b^4T^{2}=n^4b^4$ by a factor of $\asymp n^3$, not just $\asymp n^2$. The case of $n$ odd should be very similar. Now of course you can take any random $u_{ij}$ (independent of the $v_i$'s) such that $(*)$ holds almost surely or with high enough probability. Is this "packing"/"forcing" condition broad enough?
