For question 1, client and server versions, I suppose it would be safest and simple for us to simply require a robinhood client machine for every version of the lustre server we run so lustre versions can match. So this question is perhaps not worth much thought.
Robinhood RPM must be built for the version of the Lustre client where it is installed. However, running robinhood on a client which runs the same version as the servers is the safest.
2) I've read documentation but there a basic thing I'm not really clear
on - do the various robinhood "mode" versions simply provide differing
utilities and configuration templates, or do they also provide a
different database schema or other major differences?
Yes they do have a different schema.
  I don't know about
hsm, but I'd assume tmp fs mode could be seen as a subset of archive
mode (instead of archive, delete..)?

It is very likely we would want to use multiple modes on one filesystem.
I think that you can enable purge policies also in archive mode, so that
should be fine for tmpfs.
For now, the different modes are quite distinct, and DB schemas are a bit different. Also, purge policy for tmpfs mode and HSM modes are not the same and do not trigger the same action: tmpfs delete entries (i.e. unlink), and HSM mode release entries (i.e. lfs hsm_release).

However, the plan for a future release is to merge all the modes in a single generic and flexible instance that can do all the kind of actions. This change will be initiated in rbh 2.6 (at least partially).

Thomas could give you more advices next month.
