I was able to compile the code as well from a REcompileWindows I found that created a re2.lib - but I am unsure how to use this to build the final product either or if there is a way to pull that into python instead.

Why do you need to install RE2?
It's and old library that was developed up to Python 2.6.

Python 3 re has Unicode support.

Both patterns and strings to be searched can be Unicode strings (str) as well as 8-bit strings (bytes).

For even more support of regex with Unicode.

See also The third-party regex module, which has an API compatible with the standard library re module,
but offers additional functionality and a more thorough Unicode support

The point of installing RE2 is to get faster performance with my regx matches. I did all I could do with in python so looking at other options right now. I don't really "need" to install RE2 - just looking for a better option that can net me some extra speed to hit the time frames I want to hit.
