No, they have made their ruling and the case is sent back to the court of original jurisdiction for their handling.

Typically, the Appellate Court will either uphold a conviction or reverse and remand (meaning the case goes back to the lower court for a new hearing on the merits).
No it is not. If a criminal defendant had been convicted of two charges and the appellate court reversed in part by setting aside the conviction on one of the charges, there would be no remand because the defendant could not be retried on the count reversed. In a civil action, if a plaintiff won on two counts of a complaint and the appellate court reversed the judgment on one by reason of it not being supported by the weight of the evidence, it would not be remanded because the plaintiff doesn't get another chance to prove his case.

When a case is remanded, it is sent from an appellate court to either a lower appellate court or the trial court with instructions to that court to take a particular action regarding the case. For example, if an appellate court vacates a conviction, it may remand the case to the trial court for a new trial.
Yes, sort of. They don't remand the decision, but the case. "Remand" means to return a case to a lower court for further disposition. Usually this follows the reversal of the lower court's decision or identification of a judicial error during the trial or at sentencing, so the case may be "remanded" for a new trial or resentencing. The appellate court always specifies the reason for their decision, and the action they expect to be taken.
