1.) When calling a macro with setting 75 on the machine refuses to go into single block mode. I am trying to get the machine to keep the spindle running at the end of a program to save time at the start of the next cyle.

I've done this using an M99 and a dwell, (which got removed as I got quicker at loading parts... shhh, don't tell OSHA) Call your program with a sub program, and loop it for as many parts as you're going to run, or the max loops, (99??).
2.) Along the same lines as a number 1 I can't seem to get the machine to turn the spindle on while it is moving from it's park position to the first operation. This is supposed to be possible but I havn't figured out yet.
Thanks for any input.

Unless it's just for positional moves, I don't think this is a good idea, but have wanted it in the past. (If it did that the way I run parts these days, I'd have broken so many tools..
) I don't know if HAAS will do it, post here if you figure it out please.
