-- How do a state currently handle heterosexual marriages (also known as marriages) from other states which are illegal within its borders? --

They recognize the marriage as valid. Full faith and credit applies (Article IV).

But if one state bans homo-marriage doesn't the same principle apply that all states must ban?

I don't think that is true in all states, at least in the case of first-cousin marriages.
