When coding in javascript, is there a console.method() or ctrl-a sequence to turn the cursor on and off? (IE: ESC[?25h and ESC[?25l)

No console method explicitly for that, but there is an ansiterm library you can
load and use like this:

var ansiterm = load({}, 'ansiterm_lib.js');
ansiterm.send("ext_mode", "clear", "cursor");
console.pause(); // cursor should be gone for compatible terminals (e.g. SyncTERM)
ansiterm.send("ext_mode", "set", "cursor");
// cursor should now be visible again
