Do sharpies work with the sketchbook?

Yes and the sharpie won’t bleed thru. Comic markers will bleed thru.

When open, does the binding allow the pages to lie flat, or is there a stiffness that causes the pages to lift?

It pretty much lies flat, never any "lift" issues. Really nice sketchbook.

I looked again at 2 sizes, small and medium, which state the paper is white and yes indeed the paper looks bright white to me.

how does it hold up with water color

I would say pretty good! I like to use water color pencils also and then blend colors with water and that usually does not bleed through. Don’t expert it to be like watercolor paper though
