Case-sensitive search is usually faster and I added matchcase out of habit :) In your case, this option will not interfere, but if you want, you can use an empty value (i.e. {}) instead and geany.find will ignore the case of characters.

If we try to simplify it as much as possible, we'll probably get something like this:
next:

local iCurPos = geany.caret()

local iS, iE = geany.find("##########################", iCurPos + 1, geany.length(), {"matchcase"})
if iS ~= nil then
  geany.select(iS, iE)
else
  geany.message("Not found.")
end

previous:

local iCurPos = geany.caret()

local iS, iE = geany.find("##########################", iCurPos - 1, 0, {"matchcase"})
if iS ~= nil then
  geany.select(iS, iE)
else
  geany.message("Not found.")
end

I use iCurPos + 1 and iCurPos - 1 so that the search does not capture the text in the current position (when we have "CURSOR##########################" or "##########################CURSOR"). It sounds logical, but I'm not sure if it's really necessary :)
