If you push something into the stack multiple times (in a loop for example), does the stack keep growing or is the previous value replaced? For example, repeating push EDI 5 times. Would the stack have 5 EDIs?

The stack keeps growing, till some OS defined limit is reached. Then an exception is thrown. This limit is typically 256k or even megabytes on PC, to allow for recursion.
The stack doesn’t keep types, so since EDI is a 32-bit register, after 5 push edi’s it would contain 5 32-bit values, the same as the value in EDI
