when you set-aside a hero in battle, is that considered a withdraw?

Withdraw cards force or allow cards to leave the Field of Battle (see Withdraw in the glossary).  The target and destination for withdrawal is specified on the withdrawal card.  The most frequent use of withdrawal cards is to return a card to a player’s hand or territory.  Other withdrawal cards provide your opponent with an option to replace the withdrawn card.  Once a card has withdrawn from battle, it can only return to the battle if the withdrawal card is interrupted or negated (see Withdraw in the glossary).  Cards that allow the holder to exchange cards with another card are not considered to withdraw from battle (see Search, Reveal, or Exchange).

No.

that's a bummmmmer

what are all the withdraw abilities?

I think

Return
Retreat
Withdraw

are all of them but not sure...

Return is a withdraw ability, as long as it targets a character in battle. Withdraw (I think) is only ever used for characters anyway. I'm not sure how many cards say Retreat, but I'd bet that most of them now have a Play As that says withdraw, because they are the same ability.
