Does a 13A PDU mean I can draw 13A from every socket at the same time?

No. The 13A figure is the maximum total load on the BS 1363 input models.

Six sockets do not conjure six independent 13A supplies out of one mains plug.

Add the connected equipment loads together and keep the combined figure within the PDU limit.
