what size would be right for a typical third grader?

Probably the 15-inch stool would work fine. However, kids grow so fast that maybe an 18-inch would be a better choice. My 5th grader LOVES it. Here is a link that might be helpful: https://www.wittfitt.com/products/hooki-stools/hokki.html

Does this stool give your abs a workout?

I would not classify the Hokki stool as workout equipment, but you are using core muscles to keep balanced therefore there is strengthening happening. So maybe abs are getting some workout.

Is this stool suitable for adults?

When ordering a Hokki stool, you need to be sure you are ordering the correct height. Your belly button should be at about the height of the desk top. This stool is absolutely wonderful for people who need to sit for long periods or have back problems. You will experience confort in your back with this stool as the sit bones are constantly given input to sit yourself erect. The moveemnt of the stool is also helpful for keeping your back happy.

What is the top (the sitting surface) like? How cushioned is the sitting surface?

It is a non-slip surface, but not cushioned at all.
