Ok, that's kind of confusing...

Let's see, the definitions I know of:

Macro: a pre-defined combination, like key presses or actions.
StarCraft macro: your skill at controlling multiple bases and armies all at the same time (macromanagement)

Micro: there's really only the StarCraft variety... your skill at controlling small amounts or individual units (micromanagement)

What do you mean?

Like, replace the map in the corner with another game screen of your base?

Or, just snap your view to your base? For this one, you can use building or location hotkeys.

It adds a button to your HUD and when you click it your map dissappears and is replaced with a slightly zoomed out area of your base. you can now manage stuff in your base and fight a battle at the same time

That's a really bad hack. It's pretty much impossible.

Yes i have seen it in action, i have one downloaded i just do not remember from where.
and hack wise, it is hard to master, you are figting one set of enamies and another attacks, without the map you kinda have a hard time finding out where the attacker is.

StarCraft, and most games for that matter, can take their own screenshots.
Just press "print screen"
It saves it as a .pcx though, and you probably don't have a viewer for it.

seriuosly, is it possible to change it though? i use a laptop and to use it i have to push Shift+Alt+Fn+SysRq to get print screen.
no worries i can view those files, i do it all the time on diablo 2
