Strike to Stun: Yes Stunned condition is essentially a death sentence, but in my experience it doesn't end up happening too often (one of my PCs has Strike to Stun). Anyway, NPCs are there to die, right?

Advantage: No, you get 1 Advantage for hitting someone, not 2. Keep in mind you can also get Advantage in other ways, such as a successful tactical Perception test or something like that.

Correct, you do not gain Advantage for successfully defending, because you did not initiate that test.

When you cause a crit when defending, you only cause the damage the crit iself lists. You do not add Str or your weapon's damage. Note that there are Talents and Traits that allow you to cause damage while defending - which is nasty powerful.

Thank you for taking the time!

One more thing about advantage then, do I simply disregard everything in the corebook that mentions it? Or are there exceptions?

Like gaining an advantage when you charge for instance?

If you're using UiA, it entirely replaces the core book. However, the authors covered their rears with this sentence: "The GM is encouraged to hand out Advantage tokens as suits the circumstances."

Aka "do whatever you want". So if want to give some on charge, you can. I'll say that personally, I don't use the "seeding" rules much. It's just "whoever hits" or succeeds in another such test. And my players almost exclusively use Advantage every 4 points to attack again. Which is fine, it works. They get excited at attacking twice, and it's all about having fun.
