how much should the back wheel turn, if any when lifted off the floor?

Usually depends what gear you are in. A "high" gear needs a lot of torque to turn so the wheel will likely stay still. Put it in a low gear and you might be able to turn it pretty quick.

Mine dont turn. whether thats due to drag in the wheel bearings or lack of drag in the freehub I'm not sure.
