Can I get the pinout sheet for this board?

I think the question is what is the pinout for the board, not the chip :) You probably answered this for yourself, but the header holes closest to the jumper replicate analog 0 through 5. The other two rows are all ground and all +5. So you'd have to connect it with dupont wires to avoid losing your digital pins. I guess you could desolder all the digital headers, but a that's a lot of work for $15. Adafruit's is I2C based, so I'll try that out.

Is there a motor library for this specific shield? the adafruitmotorlibrary was able to run the servo pins, but not the dc motor pins?

Will this work if I were to connecet two 6v (12v in all) power supplies to the arduino dc barrel or would it work better to plug the power into the pins of the motor shield? If I did eaither of these options could they power two 6v motors (maximum voltage of about 10v)

is this only for raspberry pi??

I don’t believe so. I have personally used this on an Arduino Mega board.

Can I stack 2 of these to drive 8 motors?

The easy answer is "No." But it might be possible to Isolate some pins by using pass through connectors and cutting some pins. I'm not sure I'd want to try it tho, since the middle board would have poor airflow and might overheat.
