    Context is really needed here.

    Stand; put; chair (different pronunciation). Unless you’re referring to a shteller, a position. Or you mean a tzu shtel…

    I think he means Shtetl. A small village in Eastern Europe

    Shtetl has officially become an English word as well.

    I think he means shtel.

    Google probably thinks he means shtetl though.

    Closest English word i can think of is ‘Deliver’.

    “Chaim Zev said he is going to Shtell the Cholent”

    He will deliver/pull through with the cholent for the party.

    Someone can call across the table, “Moshe, can you Shtell the Sprite please?” which would lead one to think that the word can mean ‘pass’. But in that context it is really being used to say the same thing with a stronger lashon.

    “Shtell Hock” is what you would say when the conversation gets boring and you need someone to bring up a juicy piece of news.
