I didn't realise that this thread existed, so I am now posting a new 'reply' here, because it's a more appropriate location. The post is my original with a reply from Kuroi ( his replies are indicated in red italicised text)

The item is showing that there are 13 items available, but let's say that one customer wanted 4 small green, and ordered them, does the module prevent him ordering four, OR does it allow the order for 4 small green items?

Are ordered items deducted from the individual attributes and the grand total or from the total only?

Items are deducted from the stock for individual attribute combinations. Whether or not the visitor would be stopped from checking out in the example that you give above, would depend on whether you had selected that option in the switches that the Stock by Attributes mod inserts into your Admin.

(If there were 6 medium brown items, then a discount would apply to a purchase of all six of them.) Is this possible, and if so how?

I'm afraid that I've never used the discount facilities, let alone in tandem with Stock by Attributes. I can see ways of programming it both ways, so you would need to test it to see which way it actually works. Or you could try posting in the Stock by Attributes support thread to see if one of the mod's other users has already tried this.

So does anyone know how to implement the specific discount for bulk with a sba set-up?
