“Temporary halt. “
That’s what a “stay” is. But it’s in place until the entire SCOTUS can rule, and it’s quite likely that that ruling would uphold Trump’s authority to have the ban.

I think they are basically saying to the 9th, “Hey guys, we get that he annoys you, but you’ve had your fun and the rule of law and constitution really do have some weight here.
And at the end of the day, we don’t want to look as stupid as you do.
Of course they are going to overturn it. They are seeing the left implode by taking untenable positions on this stuff. They don’t want to be lumped in with them when the hammer comes down. And it will.
I forgot to add, that is why the government tries to eliminate small businesses. They are run by people with a lot more freedom to be “loose canons”. Replace them with the Wal-Marts. The Lowes. The McDonalds. Reduce the owner of the hardware store to a manager of a Lowes location. But if he steps out of line, he’s out of a job.
