Search & Replace in a Macro yet?

1 - Can variables be local to a Macro rather than global?

Yes. See Variables user manual section, Local and Instance variables.

2 - Is there any way to do a search/replace within a macro? I know I can search but being able to replace too would be very handy, then I could search for the variable within the macro and replace it with another.

No. Technically, it is possible in some instances to copy the macro to XML, Search&Replace in the XML, then import it back in. But basically, no.

3 - Can I search for a specific item, so if I enter 'myDate' it lists all instances of myDate, but also myDateX, myDateY etc etc

Unfortunately, no, there is no “word” search.
