I noticed in these reps that I downloaded, that in some games the players stop fighting and just focus on making as many units as possible. Also I noticed that in some reps they play the game normal but they keep on making as much probes as possible, is this how top players exercise their macro?

Im pretty sure that some people will stop fighting if they dont feel they have an advantage. It would be silly to continue fighting when vastly outnumbered or if you feel you could lose the game by losing an upcoming fight.
And Im pretty sure, except when cutting workers for a certain build, top players will constantly make workers through most of the game.

fact: if you only concentrate on macro while your opponent spreads his attention to everything, your macro will be better.

fact: if you only concentrate on micro while your opponent focuses on macro, you'll win small battles while he might create more units faster.

Having the speed and knowing when to do what is what separates good players from average players.

Gotta remember its not always a good idea to attack. It's not your god given right to just break down a base at any time

It all should be part of a plan unless something unexpected happens! Otherwise gotta wait for the key moment in time to strike (cant always be that key moment!) and do othershit in the meantime. Protecting a warping expansion can push you further ahead in some cases than wasting your armies at his choke point ;O!
