This means that the US Supreme Court overruled a decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which had earlier overruled a decision of the US District Court and vacated the District Court's judgment. The Supreme Court ruling is saying that the Appeals Court made a mistake when the Appeals Court said the District Court made a mistake. The Supreme Court is also agreeing that the original judgment given by the District Court is correct after all and it is telling the Appeals Court to reinstate the District Court's judgment.
The appeals court has reversed a particular finding or findings of the lower court and sent the case back to the lower court for them to resume jurisdiction from that point. For example if a defendant was convicted of 4 crimes, 3 based on the testimony of 5 witnesses and 1 unrelated crime based on evidence obtained without a warrant incorrectly admitted into evidence by the lower court. If the apellate court reverses the lower court on the admissability of the physical evidence, the lower court will have to consider whether to declare a mistrial on all 4 charges, or only the 1, and if that conviction had changed the guidelines for the other 3 sentences for the first three crimes whether to hold another sentencing hearing now or after the last charge is either re-tried on other evidence or the DA drops the charges.
They are reversing the trial courts decision. Depending on the legal issue(s) brought up on appeal, the appellate court will apply different standards of review. If they determine that the trial court improperly applied the law under the appropriate standard of review for the issue, then it will be reversed.

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.
