Floor traders? They are carrying out the orders of their house and customers, not private trading. Futures trading better fits your examples.

The market maker knows where stops are located. I picture many times before a good move up, the MM will "take out" stops to gain inventory for trip up. But everything is a guess with 1000s of answers. An indivdual might sell at any level because he wants down payment for a car. a fund might do it to wrap up a 150% move they started, they may rid themselves of 100,000 shares in 2000 share increments over 2 weeks. We just don't know, we guess.

Stop losses under support. I think if a stock turns against you by 10%, get out. You might change this to 15% for lower priced stocks.
