i recently purchased an sb600 and i was wondering if there was a mode you could set it to and as opposed to using it as a flash you could use it as a light (like a flashlight) (sorry for my ignorance in terms of photography jargon)

No. Speedlights only provide intense bursts of light for very short periods. Otherwise they'd overheat.

no, but you can press the button numerous times in a row for projects like looking for night crawlers. :0

Try pushing the depth of field button on your D70 while the SB-600 is mounted. If focus assist is enabled I think it might give a 1 or 2 second burst of light from the main flash. Don't have a 600 anymore so I can't test right now.
