If several squads of orks go against some beserkers and the beserkers caused 40 kills to the orks 10 leaving a 30 kill difference, does each squad have to roll 30 saves or 30 saves for the whole combaT?

Yes each squad has to take the number of saves based on the TOTAL differencial. (page 41).

You die horribly in CC against multiple assaults.

Unless you have Sisters or an Inq Lord around.

Then, you don't!

I believe that each unit would take 30 wounds since each unit suffer a number of wounds equal to the number their side lost the combat by.

Pg. 44 BRB No Retreat! paragraph 2 These units do not take Moral checks and will never fall back. Instead, these units suffer a number of wounds equal to the number their side lost the combat by (allocated as normal).

how do an Inq Lord or Sisters benefit? I don't play Witchhunters, just curious.

They choose to pass or fail any LD test. Thus they are not affected by the "no retreat" rule. Truthfully, neither really matters in the above example. If a berzerker squad scored 40 kills on Orks, they would destroy any squad of sisters or Inq lord.

If the sisters chose to auto-pass then they would be subject to No Retreat!

Pg. 44 BRB No Retreat! It's not uncommon for units to be immune to Moral checks for losing an assault, or to automatically pass them for some reason (they may have the 'fearless' special rule, be subject to a vow or some other special rule)...
