Can anyone tell me why tournament 44543 did not run as I thought I had set it up but instead played 15 boards at 2 board per round?

Looks like 8 table Full Howell playing 15 rounds. If total boards was less than 30 In set up the assume it tried the next best thing to achieve 15 rounds I.e one board per round. How many boards did you expect to play?

But I thought I could use +hm18+. It has it in the small Howell movements. I know I can use + rounds?+ for any other numbers.

+hm18+ only works for Howells of 3,4,5,6 tables. Any other number and +hm18+ is ignored. As previously posted use the +roundsX+ hack to play a partial Howell.
