Topics are just child pages of the root forum page, so if you want to build a link to add a child page manually without the macro this is what you need to do:
<confluence url>/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=<space key>&fromPageId=<forum root>
Where:
The add-topic macro can automatically restrict the edit permissions to the person who creates a topic, meaning that only that person and people with sufficient administration privileges can edit or delete the topic.
To see a list of all restricted pages, go in to Space Administration and under the "Security" section there is a "Restricted Pages" link that will list the pages and allow you to remove the restrictions from them if desired.

Hi. Can this macro use the template option. It might be nice to use a little bit of scaffolding the maintain some order etc.

no, for templates you should use the newpage menulink instead, to retain the same functionality as add-topic include the add-page-restriction macro in your template.
