Does this apply only to casting, or can racial/class abilities also count to start the stun portion of a bout?

Generally they count as well. Someone invokes a racial daily ability to buff themselves, it's the same as casting. A thief hiding and attacking seems reasonable to let through, if they are quick about it. If they start fumbling and failing hide checks, lop their head off.

Bout: Simossus vs. Ithrael
Witness: Elysande
Winner: Simossus

Elysande died during the bout and could not see its conclusion, so I don't know if this counts, however people present and the two contendants confirmed the result.

Weit in der Champagne im Mittsommergrün,
dort, wo zwischen Grabkreuzen Mohnblumen blühn,
da flüstern die Gräser und wiegen sich leicht
im Wind, der sanft über das Gräberfeld streicht.
