Is this going to be very specific? For example, if there is a major storm that has three tornadoes, but two killed a person each (the third did not kill anyone), that counts as (2).

Yes, I agree with what you stated. It is the number of individual tornadoes that result in at least one fatality, not the major storm systems.
