Opponent makes a rescue attempt, I block and play Words of Discouragement. I choose to play the next enhancement and I play Achan's Sin. Since Achan's Sin Interrupts the battle, does my opponent get the cards that Words of Discouragement placed on his draw pile back?

Aggie is correct. ITB does not interrupt your own previously activated instant abilities (such as itb/draw/play).

In the REG, under Instant Abilities > Interrupt > Special Conditions:

The phrase “interrupt the battle includes interrupting the following:

all active ongoing abilities

abilities that are defeating one of the characters you control in battle

the last enhancement played in current battle if it was played by your opponent.
