does the rice stick to the bottom of the pan? or does it burn?

A recipe will usually call for 7-8 Tb of olive oil. Let the pan heat well with oil. After browning any meats that need browned, sautéing the onion and any other veggies, and making your sofrito, stir your Spanish rice in this mixture. Then pour in hot liquid and don't stir any more. All of the together should prevent major sticking. But you want to manage your heat after the liquid all evaporates so that a little rice to stick/toast on bottom but not burn. (Listen for the toasting sound of the oil; this browned, not blackened, layer is called soccarat and is desirable and a reason why this traditional carbon steel pan is favored over stainless.) Then, when you remove paella from the heat, tent with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. The resulting steam should make the soccarat on bottom mostly loosen.

Will this pan stand up to the heat of a grill?

This pan was a gift for my daughter and son-in-law to make paella. They have used it on the grill with no problems and it makes great paella!

What is the diameter of the bottom of this pan? there are multiple dimensions listed in the amazon listing, a 15 inch pan, dimensions on specs say 20+

the actual size of the bottom of the pan measured onthe out side is 13 1/8inches diameter

Will the pan work on nu-wave stove top?

The convex and dimpled traditional bottom (desired for how it helps toasting of the rice) is better for gas and not induction. For induction there are heavier steel, completely flat-bottomed pans that are also not dimpled--well they are inside but you don't feel them underneath. A well-known brand in Spain is called Pata Negra and has black handles.
