Since you're opening Normal.dotm for editing, it's unsurprising that Word is prompting you to save changes, especially if it contains a DATE field.
As for documents created from Normal.dotm not containing macros, that is perfectly normal. Documents created from a template have access to the template's macros but don't contain them.
