There you have the answer to that first Question "does squid work with
ldap auth and active directory 2008 R2?"

All Squid does is run the helper and pass it the user credentials. If
the helper works standalone then there is no reason why Squid cannot.

Squid runs as a low-privileged user account. Running the helper as root
can often create or access files and other resources with root
permission which the Squid user cannot access.
   Check the permissions.
