1. Is there a way to exclude a particular net class from the autorouter?
I want to be able to autoroute everything except the GND net.
From the EAGLE help (i.e. help auto):
The AUTO command activates the integrated Autorouter. If signal names are specified or signals are selected with the mouse, only these signals are routed. Without parameters the command will try to route all signals. If a "!" character is specified all signals are routed except the signals following the "!" character. The "!" character must be the first parameter and must show up only once.
The LOAD and SAVE options can be used to load the Autorouter parameters from or save them to the given file. If filename doesn't have the extension ".ctl" it will be appended automatically.
Without any parameters (or if no terminating ';' is given), the AUTO command opens a dialog in which the parameters that control the routing algorithm can be configured. The special option FOLLOWME opens this dialog in a mode where only the parameters controlling the Follow-me router can be modified.
Example
AUTO ! GND VCC;

2. Is there a way to save a number of different net classes so they are default, so that they are pre-loaded when i start a new schematic??
You could write the class information into a .scr file (see: help class) and run that when you load a new schematic run that script. Alternative you could run that script from within your eagle.scr. I'm not sure net classes is something you would necessarily want to set for all designs by default unless all your designs were very formulaic so had exactly the same requirements so I guess you could have a few scripted sets and then run the appropriate one when you start a new design.
