Given a 4/4 groove of SeqSize 1, are the following two constructs (effectively) the same?

One, using truncate:

Code:
Truncate 2
4  Am

Two, using beatadjust:

Code:
4 Am / z! /
BeatAdjust -2

AFAICS both result in an Am over the first half of the measure.

No. Truncate only generates the beats specified (in your example it's the first 2 beats of the pattern). Using  BeatAdjust the entire pattern is generated and the pointer is then moved ... so you end up with an overlay.

Yes. And if there's nothing to overlay (there's a z!) the effective result is the same?

Yes, in this case it'd be the same. But, I don't recommend it ... that is what Truncate is for. I use BeatAdjust sparingly mostly for micro adjustments and sometimes very gross skips forward if I want a large gap of silence in the music.
