I've read some discussion of macros, but how do you know what % to set everything at? what situations should influence amounts?

Generally, if you're aiming to build or retain muscle, you should definitely not skimp on the protein. Otherwise some tweaking might be done according to personal preference (i.e. eating more fat helps with satiety, etc.) But these are good general guidelines.
