1) I don't think the Stubborn rule applies where a formation is broken. AFAIK the stubborn rule allows Squats to re-roll '1's in assaults and rallies, but has no other effects.
The latest version of stubborn in Thurgrim Stronghold 1.4 is a lot different

Special Rule - x.0.1 Stubborn
Squats are known for being extremely stubborn folk, and their
fighting style is reflective of this intractable nature. To represent this,
Squat formations may only take a single maximum withdrawal move
of 15cm when breaking. However, the formations only take hack
down kills within 5cm instead of the typical 15cm.
I think it's the above rule Rastaman is referring to.
From the above rule I guess it really says the same as the fearless rule, if you choose to withdraw then it's 5cm that's the deal. RAW does not grant immunity (unless staying put like you point out Rastaman) to the war engines but really just confirms what the fearless rule states in case of a withdrawal move (and adds the limitation of only one 15 cm move).
