Does anyone know how the Air Conditioning works with the engine off? Just Curious.

I don't think it's the A/C that is actually on, I believe it's just the fans circulating the air before you enter the car. It's set in the climate settings....mmm warm air moving instead of warm stagnant air. YES!!!

It doesn't only the fan motor spins, the compressor doesn't run and the air does cool, just circulate.

The compressor cannot run without the engine running. The compressor is driven by a belt that spins as the engine spins. If the engine is off, the compressor simply cannot run.
