What I want to do is create a macro that can do the following:

1. Set max camera distance to "Far"
2. Set camera following style to "Never adjust camera"
3. Set click-to-move camera style to "Never adjust camera"

Then another macro to do the following:
1. Set max camera distance to half way between "Near" and "Far"
2. Set camera following style to "Always adjust camera"
3. Set click-to-move camera style to "Always adjust camera"

The purpose being when I solo I like it the first way but when boxing I like it the second way, so spells can all cast on the same spot.

I found #1,
/console cameraDistanceMax <value>
But have been unable to find commands for the other two.

There aren't independent commands for CtM and normal camera from what I could find. /console cameraSmoothStyle # effects both cameras.

I created a macro such as the following:
/console cameraDistanceMax 25
/console cameraSmoothStyle 2

But it only works on my main, fails on the slaves. Is it because of IsBoxer virtual files?

do you have a high/low setting based on your current window? Could that be a conflict? Just my thought when reading this.
(high/ low meaning, high settings for current window -- low for all your slaves)

I couldn't get this to work right using a macro, but I did it with keybindings.

I used the "Save view 1" and "Set view 1" under keybindings and set everyone's camera view in the exact same spot. Now just before I go to cast a spell that uses the mouse I have to press "shift-1" first.

Slightly more work but soon I will be doing it without even thinking.
