Central AC comes on but won't stay on. Could it be low on coolant?

this is possible only if there is a Low Pressure Switch on the unit. Most residential units do not have those but it is possible. I'd look else where, such as thermostat for starters.

Window AC - foul smell

if the unit is cleaned and this smell is only when the condenser is on means the fresh air is open and this smell comes from outside . because the condenser fan is sucking air from condenser through it to motor side .

Furnace runs on heat, air conditioner does not

If you have a Gas furnace in the Attic then the answer is yes. The outside condenser will not run if in fact you have a gas furnace.
