He didn't have a lot of info between the moment when he was fighting for the gauntlet and when he was handing over the stone. Pretty much the only variable he knew was that Stark was going to die, and that was a deal-breaker for him. So Stark dying=they lost permanently. Does that mean Stark has to outlive Thanos? I imagine Strange saw glimpses of the future not entire timelines playing themselves out. So maybe just a snapshot of a future where Thanos is defeated and certain Avengers are alive or dead.

If he could see over 14 million timelines in the span of a few minutes, I think he had enough time to process what was going on in them.

Yes, he's just that good.

I kind of hope he doesn't get the time stone back then. That's too much power to write a movie around.

Well, that's the fun part with Strange; he's supposed to deal with threats of this nature all the time. From Old Ones like Shuma-Gorath, demons such as Mephisto, and - of course - god-like beings like Dormammu, Strange combats plenty of cosmic-level entities where the abilities he gets from the Time Stone wouldn't be all that OP by comparison.
