The pressure gauge that is set up in front of the pool filter is there to show you when the filter needs cleaning or back washing. when the pressure gets high it indicates that there is too much dirt there for the water to pass efficiently, Cleaning it at this point will reduce the pressure and make the water flow better through the filter

It could mean on of a few things, either A) There's air in the system building up pressure in the filter, open up the bleeder valve and let all the air out until you get a steady stream of water coming out, this should reduce your pressure. B) You could have a clog or obstruction of some kind on the back end of the system, going from the filter to the pool, check that out, or 3) The Filter may be very dirty and therefore be ineffective, clean/backwash the filter to solve this problem.

A lot of pressure before the filter indicates that the filter is dirty and water has more difficulty making its way through. clean the filter and the pressure wil reduce.

Possible clogged oil galley, filter, defective oil pressure gage, or the use of an oil that is the incorrect weight. Replace the oil filter with a Purolator filter and change the oil.

Why do you not have any pressure coming out when your sand filter pump is in filter mode?

Probably because it is clean, leave it on the filter setting for a while and you will find that the pressure will increase as the filter gets dirtier, when it get high (usually in the red ) you will have to backwash.
