Just read this again, and the last part has a problem in phrasing, too.
"if i do and animation of a camera rotating round a person will the light from the IBL follow the camera ... "
No.
"... or stay stationary ..."
Yes.
"... so that it is locked to the lights position?"
NO! IBL probes do not stay locked with the "light position". The position of the IBL light (as if it were a spotlight) is not relevant - moving the light widget around does not move or rotate the IBL light projection at all.
I've seen a few posts recently where somebody talked about positioning the IBL light widget like that matters. If you move the light widget to front, back, side, whatever, it doesn't matter - it has nothing to do with where the light comes from.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
