Does the US Supreme Court watch the actions of the President to make sure he is acting according to the Constitution?
No. The Supreme Court is not a spy agency, or a law enforcement agency. The Court may hear cases challenging legislation the President has signed into law, or may issue an order (under appellate jurisdiction) that applies directly to the President, as they did in United States v. Nixon, (1974), but they do not scrutinize the President's actions.
