Uh, I’m pretty sure Romans says we are born with the Commandments written in our hearts.

I think you are referring to this?

Romans 2:14-15

14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them

I think that describes everybody being without an excuse as to knowing right from wrong with regards to the conscience. Even if they are pagans.

I wouldn’t necessarily define that as seeking God since most people run away from Him.

Meaning we know right from wrong without being told. Yet, we resist.

Yup. Man seeks God so that we know when we stray. No doubt we are fallen and we do stray, but since we are seeking God, we feel guilt
