I have been testing a proof of concept external push-button interface board. I have pretty much everything working at this point.
My understanding is that the halui functions are independent from the axis functions, I picture them as a near duplicate parallel set.
For the most part when interacting with my external control board there is no need to look at the Axis GUI, however because the settings can and almost always are out of sync, example the jog increment could be 0.001" in Axis, and 1.000" in halui. If I'm not paying attention and inadvertently glance at the Axis setting and then proceed to hit the jog button on my panel (even though my external panel shows the increment is 1.000"), not great!
Is there some way in HAL to update the values displayed in the Axis GUI based on the halui settings?

Not really but you _might_ be able to bend the GUI around by doing something like this (although this is for the axis selection so you would have to invest some time and effort to see if it could be adapted to your needs):
