  Does the cutout have any function other than to open up and stop discharge from the battery when the engine is stopped or running slowly so that the battery cannot try to run the generator as if it were an electric motor?

  That's its only function, just as you stated.

  If the cutout gets stuck, I should see a discharge on the ammeter when stopped, correct?

  Correct.

  As a little more clarification for you - I've attached a schematic of the cutout relay with a simple explanation of its operation....
