Can you book a stopover online? Also what is US Airways definition of a stopover? Can stay overnight and fly out yet fly out in less than 24hrs?

How is it priced?

You'll have to check the fare rules of the ticket. Some allow free stopovers, others may add a charge for it.

Online, you can try the multi-city function, put in your intended dates and see what it spits out. You can also try to call US. Do both and compare. One may give you a better price than the other, but remember calling them will likely add a phone center charge to the ticket.

In my (not especially recent) experience, if you try to use the multi-city function on usairways.com to book what should be a legal stopover (of less than 24 hours on an international itinerary -- it's much less on a domestic ticket), it only offers the fares between the city pairs requested as they would be in a non-stopover situation. That is, if I said I wanted to go AAA-BBB-CCC with a stopover of less than 24 hours in BBB, it would list flights for each leg and the relevant fares for AAA-BBB and for BBB-CCC, even though the through fare for AAA-CCC should be available. Interestingly, using kayak.com or other search engines to search for the same itinerary, I have often been able to book such a trip (at Expedia or Orbitz, for example) at the AAA-CCC fare, with the desired stopover at BBB.
