"For a constant Angle of Bank the Lift generated by each wing must be the same. In a turn the outer wing will be traveling through the air fractionally faster than the inner wing, therefore the inner wing must have a higher Angle of Attack than the outer wing"

The outer wing does produce more lift because it is moving faster, thats why you have an overbanking tendency, but that doesnt mean it has a greater AOA.

On the other hand, what happens If you maintain a banked turn, cut thrust, and try to maintain altitude? Would the entire plane stall or would one wing fall first?

Wait for your answers.
