1. Do we know which Justice has it?
Isn't that how it works?

3. Somebody took it but they all had to confer and agree to look it over, I believe.
I don't know who the "sponsor" was but that's not particularly important if I recall correctly: The appeal can be made directly to any of the Justices, petitioner's choice. But I believe for them to say they're getting involved, they will have already conferred and at least decided to issue a brief stay while they discuss matters further.

6.  Justice Thomas got appeal and sent it to his 8 colleagues. They are now discussing.
