Wouldn't you sump tank always be full until your mains
run out ou fuel? And wouldn't the fuel returned always
be less than is pumped out of the sump tank ie fuel
returned equals fuel pumped out less fuel burned?

You are right on all counts.
One advantage of having a sump tank is installing a sensor at its top --- when that turns on (sound and a LED) you know that you have 2
gallons left to find a place to land -- or switch tanks.
