Most heroes don't have edges (at least in our games -- and I'll probably continue to ignore weapon and armor rules unless it seems to make dramatic sense to pay attention). In any case, they are never rolled, but rather added to the stakes when you win an exchange.

It would depend on the context, of course, but if two characters were fighting, I would indeed let someone defend with their tiny. It would *not* make them easier to kill -- APs are relative advantage, and being small and nimble is an advantage.
This ability could also be used to avoid getting stuck in a cave, or to hide.
