Static friction only acts upon objects at rest, otherwise it would be dynamic friction. An object at rest is known to have balancing forces, otherwise it would accelerate. This is Newton's Second Law of Motion.

How do you that forces are balanced when static friction acts on an object?

The other force being applied, opposing to the object's static friction would both be equal therefore the forces are balancing.

Friction between objects that are stationary is called what?

The friction between two stationary forces is called static friction. It is the friction that resists two objects to start moving against each other. Once in motion, the friction between two forces is called dynamic friction. Static friction tends to be greater than dynamic friction, which is why it takes more force to get a heavy box moving along the ground compared to keep it going.

As the pull on a stationary object increases the force of static friction remains constant?

No. In order for an object to remain stationary, the forces on it must be balanced. If the pull on the object increases, the force of static friction must also increase.
