UPS has the parcel in its network but cannot send it back to the sender yet. A return needs the sender's approval, and UPS is still waiting for it. The parcel is being held at a UPS facility until that approval arrives or another instruction is given.
Yes, in practice. This message is an exception, not a routine scan. It usually appears after a delivery could not be completed, and the parcel will not move again until the sender answers. The longer the sender waits, the longer the parcel stays put.
Once the sender authorizes the return, UPS sends the parcel back and the tracking history shows it moving again. If the sender chooses a different option, such as a new delivery attempt or a corrected address, the parcel may be redirected instead. If nobody responds, UPS decides how to handle the shipment under its own rules.
