Was Inspire (part of Battle Commander sub-skill) intended to affect both the character with Leader and his allies? or just his allies? I could see it working both ways. On one hand, it doesn't make sense to only affect his friends and not the guy doing it, kind of like, if he really believed it then it would affect him too. On the other hand, that's pretty nasty to couple together with warrior or cleric skills.
A leader inspires allies that are adjacent to him. He's helping direct the attack.

...and much more
I assume that a stunned character would be able to stagger around a bit and perhaps take an action but I am interested in what Larry & Bill have to say on the matter.
Stunned would allow a character to stagger (MOV is a free action) and take an action.
Any time you roll dice, it counts as an action. If the character sprinted (requires a DEX check) then he has taken a single action.

"Weapon Damage is determined by weapon type. For each 5 points of STR above 55 gain +1 to melee damage (62 STR causes +1 damage, for instance)."
Shouldn't a 62 STR cause +2 damage? Because of rounding in favor of character.
For each full 5 points of STR you gain +1 to damage with melee weapons. In this case you do not round in favor of the character.
