If a horse is superior to Sire does it mean they scored higher than their sire (PT/Paper)? Or does it mean you'd have to do a comparison test to see who's the better producer?

A comparison test is what gets you that information. You'd have to do it to know no matter what. But. Usually if a colt passes BA (don't know how SBA works as I don't have it) and papers higher than BOTH parents, it usually always means superior to sire.

I don't know what SBA is, and I don't have it. But Thank you!

Superior to sire means exactly that. Superior to sire will pass SBA, and is better quality than his sire.

SBA is Strict Breeding Advice, as opposed to BA which is Breeding Advice. SBA is a feature of premium membership and is much harsher than BA.

Passing SBA could also make a colt about as good as his sire. The only way to guarantee superior to sure is use the comparison test, unless the colt is an obvious higher paper level:

I just want to add, being superior to sire is not a guarantee to pass SBA. SBA will also geld/spay a horse that is very inconsistent. If it is tested consistent and superior it will pass SBA though.

True. SBA guarantees that you'll have the best possible breeding stock any given season. However, SBA does not geld colts that are equal to their sires provided that they are not too inconsistent. Comparison testing is the only way to find out for sure which colts are better.
