In the real Tomb Raider games, there are pionts where Lara will turn to look at a particular part of a room. Even as you attempt to run past that part of the room, Lara will crane her neck so she can still see that particular spot. Is there a way to do this in the editor?

this is called "fixed camera" see manual page 48 "mid room" and page 50.
You can also use a a simple flyby camera to scan an area or number of objects - see section V. Have you followed the Tutorial as this helps to learn how to set up the cams.

or an easier way would be place a camera target and set the trigger as target and place the trigger for it in an area and while lara is on that area she will look at the target.

Set it up as you would a fixed camera just don't put in the camera!!! ie set a target, set a trigger where Lara will look from, set this trigger type as "target", but don't put a camera in, that way Lara will look instead
