Brace for Impact

Instant

Prevent all damage that would be dealt to target multicolored creature this turn. For each 1 damage prevented this way, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature.

The kinds of effects Grand Marshal Macie interacts with are ones with a duration of "this turn" or "until end of turn". Effects like Brace for Impact, Silence and Abeyance will work, but Aetherflux Reservoir's first ability is a triggered ability that looks back at the turn for information, not an effect that lasts through the turn, so it can't be paused this way. Your notional "...for each creature that died this turn" effect would probably also be part of a kind of effect that Macie wouldn't interact with.

For your follow-up question with the Silence example: it's okay if Macie wasn't on the battlefield at the time the effect was created. If the effect's duration hasn't expired yet then it still exists, so she can see it and her ability can be used to pause it.

Grand Marshal Macie locks a "end of turn" or something like that Now what about lets say Brace for Impact would this act like an enchanment now (just to save me lots of typing)

What about abilitys .. cant think of a card "for each creature that died this turn" would the ability just keep triggering until i untap Marcie?

Or lets say Aetherflux Reservoir lets say i use it on it and now the counter of "one life for each card" never drops lower?

How about instands in general? Abeyance
