So watching videos of these high speed repos where the dude activates the lift while he is backing up and lifts the vehicle in seconds and off he goes. So, if a vehicle is in Park or has E-brake on, how are the wheels moving? And what’s keeping the towed vehicle on?

The typical thing would be to snatch the car and then drag it far enough away that someone isn’t going to be able to run up on you while you stop to take the parking brake off and hook up safety chains and what not so that it’ll be safe to tow it a longer distance.
It’s certainly possible to damage a car doing this but the margins at the kind of car dealership where repos are a big part of the business are typically good enough that it’s profitable to repair it and then sell it to the next ~~poor sucker~~ valued customer.
