Does it mean remove “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance?
No, but also Congress didn't pass the pledge of allegiance as a law. So, not a First Amendment issue
Does it mean not displaying the 10 Commandments in a Federal building (like a court house)?
Yes, if Congress passed a law to do this. But no, if some administrator of the federal court decided to display them. The First Amendment restrains Congress from passing laws.
Does it mean prayer must be banished from schools?
No. And in fact, if Congress passed a law doing so, Congress would be violating the First Amendment.
