What exactly do the expenses entail?  

The seller is essentially asking the bank to accept a loan payoff "short" of the amount required to fully pay off the loan.If the offer on the property is for the amount owed or greater, it would not be a short sale and not entail the need for mortgagee approval.

I just wanted clarification when people refer to title "docs" what exactly does that entail?

The fact that it is a condo will entail a few more hoops to jump through, but the numbers look like you are fine, even better if you have 2 year landlord history.

The seller is trying to screw over the buyer by *FORCING* him (with the threat of losing the deal) to pay for a service the buyer clearly wasn't interested in.The property may have needed pest work done, but I can't imagine what $8500 in pest remediation entails.
