How do I use Unity drag handles?
What is this hidden Unity window-dragging feature I discovered on accident, and how do I reproduce it?
Every so often when I am moving a window (using my laptop touchpad) orange circles (with arrows inside) appear at the corners and midpoints of the window. I think that they're for resizing, but all that happens is that the window moves with my cursor.
How am I triggering this? How can I stop triggering this? What are they supposed to be for?
Those orange circles are the Unity Grab Handles, a Compiz plugin designed to make resizing and moving easier with touchscreens or touchpads. By default, it is triggered by a three-finger tap over the window.

there is a very detailed guide to configure the handles. Since you just want to get rid of them, you only need to uncheck the plugin itself.
You are right, it's a compiz plugin, that allow you to resize or drag a window with some orange arrows.
