Yup. You can just stack 'em right on top of one another in a straight column
if desired.

Not at all. They stack loosely, and don't have any sort of locking mechanism
at all, really (ew). If you lifted up an HP set with the stairs up, and
turned it sideways, all the steps would probably fall in line. The only
"lock-in-place" part to the stairs is the fact that one stair cant swing
more than X-degrees away from the stair beneath it.

Vertical space? Not much. Probably about as much as there is visible on the
"lip" of standard tiles.

It should. You may want to "lock" the free-swinging steps that would be
inside the building so they don't sway around...

That sounds about right-- definitely more than 1 plate, but not quite 3, I
don't think. Pretty sure it was 2 plates thick...
