What does the (global) modifier on a theory in a session declaration mean? There seems to be a notion of global vs local theory elsewhere in isabelle (e.g. in global_interpretation) but it's not clear to me if this is the same thing.

Those are not the same thing -- global theories are available without further qualification, i.e. you can import the global theory Main but other theories in HOL you'd have to qualify, e.g. HOL.List.

You can find the specifiction in Ch. 2.1 in the system manual.
