Does retreating into a siege end the battle, and does the attacker need another die to besiege?
The rulebook describes the siege; the designer only added strategic advice.

Yes to both. Retreating into the Stronghold ends combat at once; the attacker may advance, which creates the siege. Starting a siege battle later needs another action die. A large army should generally fight in the open first and retreat inside only when it has five units or fewer left, as the designer advised.
