My kid lost that small base piece to his "20" Thruster Dirt DS Boys' Mountain Bike" Will this work as a replacement?

It depends on the size of the steer tube and stem sizes. I'd the bike has a one inch threaded steer tube it'll work. But, you may have to get a new stem with a 1 1/8 inch collar.

how many spacers could be fit under this adapter?

You don't use spacers for this. You only use spacers for a real threadless setup. This just emulates a threadless and allows you to use a 1-1/8 stem. You just set the height you want and tighten the allen bolt

what stem size does it fit? 1" or 1 1/8"

1 1/8".It inserts into forks with 1 1/8" threaded headsets (actual diameter measurement is 1"). It fits 1 1/8" threadless stems (1 1/8" actual measurement).

How high can you raise the stem above the headset?

I have lifted my stem by 25mm from the top of the threaded steerer into which the extender inserts. Done roughly 2500km, including a 500km bike tour over gravel terrain - no issues whatsoever.
