1) I like to set my structure view to show only the alpha carbon backbone. Is there a way to show the side chains of only selected residues?

There is:

graphics_to_ca_plus_ligands_and_sidechains_representation(imol)

That, as you can see, doesn't work with selections, but maybe limiting the 
display radius will do what you want:

Extensions -> Representation -> Limit Model Display Radius


2) I have a tyr and an arg that I think are interacting (sort of clashing). How can I refine both residues together to converge on possible interacting conformations?


Yes - that's what Sphere Refine is supposed to address. If that doesn't do what you want, then you can refine just those two residues (say 100 and 200 both in the A chain) in molecule imol:

Calculate -> Scripting -> Python:

refine_residues(imol, [["A", 100, ""], ['A', 200, '']])
