You probably want to do a command instead of a macro.

It sounds like you can do:
    cd $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY/..
    make

If the makefile outputs "simple" error lines with filename and line 
number, you can set output to external window and enter a regular 
expression to parse the lines (so that you can click on errors) -- 
there's more about this in the manual -- if it's not sufficient, just 
ask and I'll clarify! :)

Just a FYI, you can execute commands in the terminal also via commands, 
e.g.:
    osascript -e 'tell app "Terminal" to do script "data"'

This will execute “date” in a terminal. To give it focus, you may also 
want to do:
    osascript -e 'tell app "Terminal" to activate'
