We consider semigroup algorithmic problems in the Special Affine group $\mathsf{SA}(2, \mathbb{Z}) = \mathbb{Z}^2 \rtimes \mathsf{SL}(2, \mathbb{Z})$, which is the group of affine transformations of the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ that preserve orientation. Our paper focuses on two decision problems introduced by Choffrut and Karhumäki (2005): the Identity Problem (does a semigroup contain a neutral element?) and the Group Problem (is a semigroup a group?) for finitely generated sub-semigroups of $\mathsf{SA}(2, \mathbb{Z})$. We show that both problems are decidable and NP-complete. Since $\mathsf{SL}(2, \mathbb{Z}) \leq \mathsf{SA}(2, \mathbb{Z}) \leq \mathsf{SL}(3, \mathbb{Z})$, our result extends that of Bell, Hirvensalo and Potapov (2017) on the NP-completeness of both problems in $\mathsf{SL}(2, \mathbb{Z})$, and contributes a first step towards the open problems in $\mathsf{SL}(3, \mathbb{Z})$.
