Generally, yes. In California, Penal Code Section 166(a)(4) makes it a misdemeanor to willfully disobey a court order, which would include child custody orders, no harassment orders, and other restraining orders. If the no contact order is related to domestic violence, Penal Code Section 273.6 makes violating the order a misdemeanor. Both of these laws, since they describe criminal offenses, make it possible for police to arrest the violators.

How does the Court enforce its decisions on lower courts?

It doesn't have to "enforce"its decision (that's not the court's job), when a higher court acts on the case that is the law. Everybody is supposed to obey the law. If not the police, FBI, other enforcement agencies or methods are in place to enforce the higher courts decision. However a large part of what lawyers do in all courts is cite previous court decisions of other courts at all levels to convince the judge in their case that they are interpreting the law correctly for the benefit of their client.
