The rate of Steal success per item by a character of equal level to the monster; these rates will change based on the level difference between the Stealing character and the monster; hover over a percentage to see the base rate (which is based on being 10 levels higher than the monster); this rate is multiplied by 80%±2% per level difference; only one item can be stolen, so an increase in level may in some cases decrease the effective Steal rate of items later in the list
Steal
A monster will never drop an item if an item was Stolen from it during the battle; only monsters present in the final battle of a multi-battle sequence may drop items

The Phoenix Down is extremely expensive, and cures KO status. It's actually cheaper to just buy Life Tomes for your three main Characters than buy a single Phoenix Down, and unless you are caught with everyone dead or out of MP, it's basically just as effective. Don't spend money on these, but don't be afraid to keep one around just in case. They're pretty valuable when sold, as well.
