The common interpretation is the base extends to the outside edge of the line (“the perimeter of the Base area”), except for the west border, where it extends past the line to the side border wall. See rule 8:
8 — BASE
Base is an imaginary box formed by vertical walls that rise from the perimeter of the Base area, including the inside surface of the borderwalls, and by an invisible ceiling 16 in (40 cm) high.
• This means Base is not just an area on the mat – it’s a VOLUME.
• Usually there is a gap between the mat and a side border wall… Base includes this gap.
• Anything in the team’s possession is understood to count as being in Base, and is okay to store or handle.

I have another question - Which edge of the thick black line is considered the bounds of the base? The outside edge or inside edge.

No, using a guide that hangs out of Base, even before the start, is
NOT allowable.
See Rule 14: Aiming – You may use a device to aim the robot, but its
use must be completely in Base at all times, and you must let go of it
prior to starting/restarting.
There are LEGO pieces that are 2 studs wide, of course.
