Is it decidable for a NPDA to halt?
The (non)halting condition for PDAs doesn't make much sense; "non-halting" for a PDA means that there are one or more $\epsilon$-moves (not input read) that can cause a "loop" or an infinite stack expansion.

In order to test if a PDA accepts a string $x$, a Turing machine should not "barely simulate" it  (i.e. recusively enumerate all reachable (partial input,stack content,state) configurations of the PDA. Otherwise such machine could never end if the PDA doesn't accept the string and it contains $\epsilon$-moves.

In order to test if a PDA accepts $x$ it you should build the equivalent CFG anc check if the CFG generates the string $x$.

Also note that for any PDA $A$ there is an equivalent (costructible) PDA $A'$ with no $\epsilon$-moves (real-time PDA, i.e. the PDA reads a letter from its input every step) and even there is an equivalent $A''$ with no $\epsilon$-moves and only one state (simple real-time PDA). See Greibach normal form.

A TM once constructed $A'$ (or $A''$) can barely simulate it, enumerating all the possible nondeterministic choices, but in this case it will surely halt.
