Is there a way to reuse an existing macro created in another text expansion? For example, I can create a macro that asks for a customer's name to be entered, then it takes that and the output format is set to title case so the first and last names are initial caps. I give it a name of %INPUT_Customer%.
If I use that same name of %INPUT_Customer% in another expansion, I have to redo the output format on it, it doesn't pick up that I used that same name before.
Sometimes it WILL reuse a previous macro with the same name, but it's very inconsistent and not reliable.

Second, is there a way to list all of the currently used macros for all text expansions? I know they're all in the Settings.fdb file, but I don't see a way to list them out.

The easiest way is to simply copy and paste the macro from one phrase to another. For example, select %INPUT_Customer% in the first phrase, copy it and then paste it into another phrase. Two macros with the same name in the same phrase are treated as one - the user input is only required once.

Currently it is not possible to retrieve a list of all macros but we may add such feature in one of the next updates, thanks for the suggestion.
