More importantly... if you reserve a book on the library website and it gets checked out to you, does Kobo recognize the book as available to you?

Hmmm.... going by the only decent article I saw about the Overdrive "app" for Kobo, the answers to your questions would be:
1 Search Yes
2 Place holds Yes
3 Multiple libraries? Could easily be since the Overdrive app (iOS/Android) supports them.
4 Not sure -- since it is your library card number that is used, it should be. Works for me with auto checkout on holds using the Overdrive app on Windows, iOS and Android plus web browser on Windows.
Other questions for me is will it sync your library choices between apps on other OS? Will Adobe be unhappy with adding more devices under my Adobe ID?

Perhaps a competition with other sites which should remain nameless for misinformation bites of the week?
