I’ve read the queens are semi claustral, I’m sure this is species dependent although, are the majority semi claustral?

Pretty sure semi claustral, I allow all mine to forage.

To my knowledge most Myrmicas are semi-calaustral

Yes, all species of Myrmica are semi-claustral. Normally there is not that much variation in a genus (except for Pogonomyrmex, Camponotus, and some others).
