How would you describe the differences between the process of doing macro- and micro-observation?

Macro observations is observing the book you are studying as a whole. These observations are including the who, what, how, when, where, and why questions. In the Micro observations you are looking at a certain passage in the book you are studying with answers to the same questions you use in the macro study. Plus you are doing a more detailed observation in the micro study.

When doing macro-observation you are observing a book and with micro-observation to are observing paragraphs, chapters, text.

Macro is the general observation and micro is the observation and analysis of individual segments

I believe the macro is an overall wider understanding of the scripture and the micro digs in deeper to discover the tiny details of the scripture.

Macro-observation is much more broad and open than micro-observation. It’s like the difference between a map of the U.S.A. and a map of Raleigh N.C. The U.S.A. map will give you some information about the city of Raleigh and its place in the country, but the city map will actually help you discover specific locations of interest and give you the information needed to navigate. Interestingly, there seem to be many more resources that provide macro- than micro-observations of the Bible.
