Let m=nr,n=nc. Vertex-numbering starts with 1. 
Instead of the 2 colors  I take an extra vertex with number m+m+n+n+1
to which I connect the m+m row  vectors. [only vertex that gives triangles] 
Given matrix X(m,n). By your  description I construct the adjacency matrix 
A(m+m+n+n+1,m+m+n+n+1) this  way:

43 FOR I=1 TO M+M:A(I,M+M+N+N+1)=1:A(M+M+N+N+1,I)=1:NEXT
44 FOR  I=1 TO M:A(I,M+I)=1:A(M+I,I)=1:NEXT
45 FOR J=1 TO  N:A(M+M+J,M+M+N+J)=1:A(M+M+N+J,M+M+J)=1:NEXT
46 FOR I=1 TO M:FOR J=1 TO  N
47 IF X(I,J)=1 THEN  
A(I,M+M+J)=1:A(M+M+J,I)=1:A(M+I,M+M+N+J)=1:A(M+M+N+J,M+I)=1
48 IF X(I,J)=-1  THEN 
A(I,M+M+N+J)=1:A(M+M+N+J,I)=1:A(M+I,M+M+J)=1:A(M+M+J,M+I)=1
50 NEXT  J,I

correct ?
Then we can easily create some thousand random "Xs" and  check the 
correspondent "As" with Nauty ...
Empirical math, no proof needed  ;-)

======================================================

Define  a coloured graph G(A) with 2*(nr+nc) vertices:
First colour:  r[0..nr-1], r'[0..nr-1]
Second colour:  c[0..nc-1],  c'[0..nc-1].

Add edges as follows:
(1)  r[i]--r'[i] for  i=0..nr-1;  c[j]--c'[j] for j=0..nc-1.
(2)  r[i]--c[j] and  r'[i]--c'[j] for all A[i,j] = +1
(3)  r[i]--c'[j] and r'[i]--c[j] for  all A[i,j] = -1.
Zeros in A don't cause any edges.

I claim that  matrices A and B are equivalent iff G(A) and G(B) are  
isomorphic,

Proof outline:
